It softens and melts as it absorbs microwaves from the radar set.
Reason: Ship/aircraft radar emits radio/microwave radiation (not visible, UV, or gamma). Microwaves can heat food by dielectric heating of water/fats (like a microwave oven), so the chocolate would warm and could soften or melt if the radiation intensity is high enough.
