I never understood why Radar was in combat tab. It would be more coherent if it was moved to logistic tab.

Logistic tab holds the entities that move (or help to move) stuff. Radar moves nothing, and on the other hand, it helps chart the terrain, and detect enemies, which fit better to the military than any other tab in my opinion.

There are some buildings in logistic tab which move nothing like the soils. The combat tabs contains only weapons and defenses. Radar is a just used for scanning the terrain, and not necessarily ennemies. Also it can be used in circuit network like combinators, speakers, and display panels. It would make more sense if it was in logistic tab among the other network buildings.

Radar is also used to craft Artillery shells.
Currently it sits nicely next to other passive defenses like walls and landmines. And knowing (the terrain) is half the battle, or so I heard.
Almost half of production tab and all the turrets can be connected to the circuit network.
