Continuous Chain for Air Defense Across British Coasts
The Air Ministry pressed for a continuous detection chain from Scotland to the Isle of Wight by March 1939. By September 1918, about 2,000,000 pounds had been spent and by March the total rose to roughly 5,000,000. The system measured metre scale delays and microseconds to locate aircraft, enabling plan‑level positioning within a mile, with aims to track each air threat across the North Sea and improve coastal defense and raid response.
