Radar pioneers and the rise of modern radar in 1930s
In 1930 the radar concept expanded beyond ship detection to airplane targets. Dr Albert Taylor and colleagues at the Naval Research Laboratory, with Leo Young and later Page, pursued pulse techniques and built compact systems. Their persistence, amid funding gaps and secrecy delays, culminated in the first practical radar defense networks for the United States.
