UK Radar Research
Due to the First World War, Britain realized they were easily susceptible to aerial attacks as they were bombed repeatedly by German Zeppelins. As a result, the British Royal Air Force (RAF) devoted Biggin Hill, a base near London, towards developments in research in the field of radar, specifically dealing with communications. The goal of this project was to integrate radar into early warning systems for fighter planes to aide in direction and control of the plane and as data was collected it became evident that radar effectively compensated for differences in maneuvering and navigating aircraft. This new system could provide adequate information on specific technical difficulties due to maintenance of equipment or training of personnel. Another great aspect of this system was that it could detect changes in enemy tactics, for example changes in path of flight.
