What do you call the use of contiguous beams stacked in elevation?

Layered beam scanning

Vertical stacking arrays

Elevation sweep technique

Stacked Beam radars

Stacked beam radars describe using multiple adjacent beams stacked in elevation to sample the airspace at different heights, forming a vertical profile of targets. This approach provides direct vertical resolution and a rapid, multi-height view without needing to tilt the antenna for each elevation. The other terms aren’t the standard label for this method—layered beam scanning, vertical stacking arrays, or elevation sweep technique describe similar ideas loosely but do not match the established nomenclature as precisely as stacked beam radars.
