    I’ve stood in front of high powered radars. They don’t do anything to you. Also my radar operated in the microwave band at about 1/3 the power of this navy one. So if mine did nothing to me i doubt the navy one would do anything.

      They probably use a frequency that does virtually nothing to humans then. The power feed may feature additional modes that are less safe to be fair.

        It uses a low L band frequency so as i said in my first comment, not harmful to humans and for sure isn’t going to vaporize you like op said.

        If you’re touching the radar while it is transmitting you’ll probably receive an RF burn for your troubles but otherwise it should be fine.
