G Display

In radar, a rectangular display in which a target appears as a laterally centralized blip when the radar antenna is aimed at it in azimuth and wings appear to grow on the blip as the distance to the target is diminished. Horizontal and vertical aiming errors are respectively indicated by horizontal and vertical displacement of the blip. Also called G-scan, G-scope, G-indicator.
