USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Radar-or radio detecting and ranging-was one of the most important factors in the success of Britain’s air defences during the Battle of Britain. Radar could be used to detect and locate incoming enemy aircraft.

Detailed explanation-2: -The British developed an air defence network that would give them a critical advantage in the Battle of Britain. The Dowding System – named for Fighter Command’s Commander-in-Chief Sir Hugh Dowding – brought together technology such as radar, ground defences and fighter aircraft into a unified system of defence.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Dowding System’s pioneering use of radar (which could warn the RAF of enemy attacks), aircraft and ground defense gave Great Britain a competitive advantage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Known as the ‘Dowding System’, it was the world’s most advanced air defence network. The UK’s air defence network – the ‘Dowding System’ – was critical to the RAF’s victory in the Battle of Britain. It used the latest science and technology to detect hostile aircraft and coordinate how air defences would respond.

Detailed explanation-5: -1940s radar relied on a semiconductor crystal, or “rectifier.” Radar worked by sending out a radio wave and analyzing the reflected wave after it bounced off any objects in the air. The rectifier’s job was to translate the reflected signal into the direct current necessary for visualization on the screen.
