Radar Reconnaissance of Near-Earth-Objects at the Dawn of the Next MillenniumRadar, the most powerful ground-based technique for post discovery investigation of NEO's (near-Earth objects), can contribute a great deal to their exploration as well as to identification and mitigation of hazardous objects. My intentions in this article are to review the current state of NEO radar reconnaissance, examine the imminent prospects for this work as upgraded instrumentation becomes available, and propose construction of a next-generation radar telescope that, unlike any existing radar instrument, would be optimized for, and dedicated to, NEO radar.
