A Grand Banquet of Strictly Defined Ranks

Second-generation radar had already become quite useful in actual combat. Equipping the Navy and Army on a large scale and building radar bases on land and along the coast had become the radar laboratory's next task.

Radar detection bases had to be built in several relatively important areas, including regions of strategic significance.

One shouldn't underestimate second-generation radar merely because its maximum detection range was only fifty-six kilometers. At certain times, those fifty-six kilometers could become the deciding factor in victory.

But that said, Arthur certainly had greater expectations for radar.

Judging by the current global situation, no one knew when the World War would break out.

Only by mastering more advanced radar as early as possible and applying it throughout the Navy, Army, and Air Force could the security of the territory and the strength of the military be guaranteed.

Although the area radar could detect was limited, it was still extremely useful when deployed along relatively narrow and elongated stretches of land.

Canals and straits were prime examples. If radar were installed on both banks, control over the canals and straits could basically be guaranteed.

It was simply that British radar technology was not yet this advanced. Otherwise, any ship passing through the Suez Canal would be under British control. That was truly terrifying.

By the same logic, areas such as the Strait of Malacca, the Kiel Canal, and the English Channel could all be brought under complete control through radar. This was the strategic value radar brought to a country.

Aside from that, what Arthur anticipated most were the various guidance technologies derived from radar. Australasia's missile technology was actually already ahead of the entire world. What it lacked were guidance technologies that could improve its hit rate.

The moment there was a technological breakthrough in radar
