The manuals for our low power radar state that you should not be within 15 feet of the radiating antenna. However ...
The beam is relatively narrow and the antenna only scans through 180 degrees. It doesn't fire backwards.

You should be relatively safe if you were aft of the nose bulkhead or below the line of fire.

Did you happen to notice the tilt setting?
