ABSTRACT This study examined the use of ground radar technology in real-time surveillance in farmer-nomadic pastoralist conflict zones in Nigeria. Two specific research objectives were formulated to guide the study. The research design was exploratory research design. 72 respondents, made up of heads of operation with assistants and heads of administration with assistants were selected using non-proportionate stratified sampling technique and used for the study. The instrument known as “Ground Radar Technology and real time Surveillance Questionnaire (GRTRTSQ)” was used to collect the data. The instrument (GRTRTSQ) was subjected to reliability test, using test-retest method and it produced high average reliability coefficient of 0.78 to justify the use of the instrument. The findings revealed that ground radar technology can facilitate Real-time Surreptitious Surveillance and Interception of farmer-nomadic pastoralist in conflict zones in Nigeria. The result also revealed that Ground Radar Technology can significantly Secure Communication and Interception of farmer - nomadic pastoralist in conflict zones in Nigeria. One of the recommendations was that the Ground radar technology, with unique and distinctive features of Real-time Surreptitious Surveillance and Interception should be used in running eco-scanning test to reduce time waste and improved result outcomes.
