Radar began as scattered ideas about echoes and reflections and grew into a wartime revolution that reshaped the modern world.
Radar’s birth weighed in on a side project: British milkmen’s squeaky wheels helped prototype echo sensing decades before war.
The key radar frequency emerged from a misunderstood music experiment, not military strategy, shaping early wireless acoustics instead of weapons.
British inventor Sir Robert Watson-Watt coined 'radio direction finding' before anyone called it radar, then saw it become weaponry overnight.
The first radar was built with wartime urgency and scavenged components, inspiring a global obsession with practical, improvisational engineering.
