And what about Military forces using civilian aircraft:
Falcon-50/900 Airbus 319-310-330 DC10 L1011 DC9 B767?
The country where I come from the Air Force is using the same WX of a civilian AC.
I am still confused.

same thing,
they only use the radar images of the civilian airplane,s wx radar for identification so they dont shoot it down.
Wether its operated military or civilian, identification is the same.

And before you ask, you're right: it won't cover the situation where some sneaky bearded individual with an unpronounceable name cleverly fits a civil radar to his ageing F14.

Both transponder and wx radar have to be on. The ships IFF/radar compares returns and position/range on airways. If approaching warship they call you on 121.5 which has to be monitored. The ships track the WX radar signal much further from the ship as compared to the transponder.

Looks like I need to get a radar in that brand new cirrus I bought and store in th Persian Gulf and cancel the XM satellite weather subscription....the only problem, where am I gonna put that radome!
Iran has F14's...alot of them actually
Should they manage to fit a civilian avionics system into an F14, I think you'll find said F14 would cease to become a potent weapon.

Any health risks of WX Radar on during flight...
Seeking Information;
Can anyone shed some light on the issue of the use of the WX RADAR.
As Pilots operating a flight, do we face any health risks or dangers if we happen to keep the wx radar on during whole flight. I have tried to find some answers but have been unable to find any directly related answers.
There are crew that claim that it causes unnecessary radiation to us as pilot in the cockpit. I find this hard to believe and would appreciate any useful informatio.
PS: in my previous airline in the middle east, it was an SOP to have WX Radar on during flight wheather in daylight or in night.
Thankyou
