Radar Technology

What was radar? To understand that, one had to grasp how radar worked, what it did, and the changes it brought to every aspect of human life.

In later generations, radar was an extremely familiar technology, widely used in all areas of daily life.

From small civilian cars to all kinds of military facilities, radar had brought countless changes to the way humans lived.

But nearly a century ago, radar was still an unexplored field—something people of the era could long for but never reach.

Australasia had been researching radar technology for more than a decade. Arthur had placed great hopes in it and invested vast sums every year. At last, the research had achieved some results.

In fact, as early as the middle of World War I, the British people had already conceived the idea of detecting aircraft flying through the sky.

But aircraft technology had been immature at the time, let alone the technology needed to locate them with radar.

Radar research could not be separated from radio waves. Thanks to the efforts of several pioneers in the field, related technology had actually existed as early as 1922. It was simply immature, excessively complicated, and difficult to use.

Building on that foundation, Australasia had conducted further research and developed its first radar system for searching out enemies. The Radar Research Center had named it the R1 radar.

The full name of radar was radio detection and ranging, meaning radio detection and distance measurement. Its abbreviation was Radar, which was where the name radar came from.

Upon learning that Australasia's radar technology had finally been developed, Arthur was naturally extremely excited.

After all, radar was of immense importance to the advancement of modern military technology. The Navy, Army, and
