This book, sponsored by the Naval Radar Trust, is one of two complementary volumes which present a series of technical Monographs describing various aspects of the origins, development and application of British Naval radar from its inception in 1935 until the end of World War 2. It results from detailed collective historical research by scientists, Naval officers and others who had all been involved personally, at the time. The book provides a technical background to the recently published work by Derek Howse - 'Radar at Sea: the Royal Navy in World War 2', which was addressed to the more general reader.
