Radar

A device whereby the position and range of distant objects, such as ships or aircraft, may be established by means of radio waves. Radar (Radio detection and ranging) which was developed by British scientists led by Sir Robert Watson-Watt (1892-1973), revolutionized the conduct of air warfare and was widely used by the RAF, the Luftwaffe, and British and German ground defenses during most of World War II.
