--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1 :   Designing the Outer Ring

First you are going to create new image and fill it with black .

then :

      - create a circle with Elipse tool with these values : check on " from centre &

        Circle " , fill it with white .

      - duplicate it then decrease its size to let a space between the two circles                               represnting the thickness of the outer Ring .

      - CTRL+Click on the small circle thumbnail to select it then select the bigger cricle             and delete the selected area , that give us the ring we wanted .

      - Now from Blending Options add a gradient like below starting from dark green to             lighter green  

      - Add Inner Glow Option with light green :: mood to Normal , Opacity to 75 and Size           to 4.

      - Add Outer Glow Option With black color :: mood to Normal and Size to 50 .

The result will be as illustrated Below .

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2 :  Designing the Inner Core

To design the inner core we need first to add new layer then :

       - with magic wand tool select inside the ring then fill the new layer with white .# the            shown shadow appears as we made it in the first step .

       - from blending options add Gradient overlay with dark green to light green and                  with 90 degree .# with  the mouse click on the core with holding drag it to place              the gradient as you like .

       - make sure the right side includes more dark green than the left side so as to                      make it appear in 3D mood .

As below :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3 : Adding the Stripe Lines

Now I recommend that you focus for this step cause it is important 

       - make new Image by pressing CTRL+N with 2 px width and 3 px height or with 4                  px width  and 6 px height .

       - with line tool make a black line on top of the image like below .

       - from Edit choose Define Pattern and name it as you want .

       - Now back to the original image and with selecting inside the ring as before                          choose the paint bucket tool and change its mood to Pattern , then choose the                pattern we recently created .

       - Inside the ring ,on the core click to create thses stripe lines as below then change              its mood to Overlay .

As below :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4 : Adding circles , vertical and Horizontal lines

Now we are almost done with the Radar System Icon 

so we are going to create the vertical , Horizontal lines and the outer and inner circles 

       -  CTRL+R to show the ruler then add vertical and horizontal guides right on the                     centre of the core . # you can CTRL+T on the core then add the guides to the                   middle points as a guide points   

       -  using Pen tool add points from the start to the end of each line , no need to make               it curvy just straight lines .

       -  then choose the brush and change the size to 1-5 px with zero hardness .

       -  choose back the Pen tool and Right click on the core and choose stroke ,choose               from it the brush and check on stimulate pressure .

      -   as a result shown below , from blending options choose outer glow with :                             Spreed 3px , size 9 px .

Now for the circles :

      -  from eliptical marque tool make two cricles like below from the centre , and if you             couldnt just select the core by CTRL+CLICK on its thumbnail and also choose                the previous tool and right click on the core , choose Transform selection and                resize the circle selection as you want .

      -  after you are done with the resizing , right click again and choose Stroke , set the             values : width 1 px and the color to white or light green .

      -  it will create the same effect as the vertical and hrizontal lines , and if you are not               satisfied with the result ! you can always add outer glow blending option .

the result is as illustrated below :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5 : Adding scanned Objects

you can browse the internet for objects like planes or ships or any armory 

well.. download them then :

   -  first make a selection as below to make the waving radar scanner 

   -  with the gradient tool with white color make a gradient from the left top side and                  change the layer mood to Overlay .

   -  Now add the objects you downloaded as below ,resize it to fit the screen then                     change its mode to overlay , also you may add outer glow to add the glowing                   effect woth the light green color .  

   -  add dots with brush tool also to the same layers .

and as illustrated below , we are done .
