radar screen Generic and common name for the front face of a radar's CRT or LCD. Also known as the PPI (plan position indicator), especially on older units, although the latter refers more often to just the central radar target data, whereas the radar screen usually implies all of the display on the screen such as control settings, Lat-Lon position, and other derived functions from a GPS interface.
