… the perfect (vague, fuzzy) word for all occasions ;)

Barend, ik vind jouw optie duidelijker en eleganter en ben daarvoor gegaan. Dank je!

dat 'post' in 'radar post on ships' een andere betekenis heeft dan 'post' in radarpost.

I would like to suggest (see other question), perhaps it fits better into this context:

shipborne and shore-based radar systems

'

Yep, in fact more or less the same images come up for either language.

Try entering 'radar post on ships'. You will get a fine display of ships with radar posts

Yes, but my problem with the word extends to both source and target language, really: is a "radarpost" what you would find on a ship? A ship has a radar system, sure, but. . . When I Google image search "radarpost"/"radar post", I seem to almost exclusively get photos of onshore "tower" structures. . .

Just realised that the word exists in English too: "radar post". Do you have some context for us?

Another option: "radar installation".

However, it seems to me that if the term being used in Dutch is "radarpost", "radar post" ought to be fine for both the shoreside and marine variant in your text.

Radar system? Radar site? Radar device? Radar unit? Or simply: radar, with nothing else?

I realise I may well be overthinking this (I'm a bit "stuck in" at this stage), but accuracy and clarity are of the essence in this very dense text. Would appreciate votes/opinions from the ProZ dream team :-)
