World War II Information Systems, Proximity fuze: detonates an explosive…
-
Proximity fuze: detonates an explosive when the distance to the target becomes smaller than the predetermined value
-
Produced much more powerful radio waves with a shorter wavelength - resulted in greater accuracy over greater distances
The success of the 105-MHz SCR-270 in detecting aircraft approaching Pearl Harbour and the failure of the command and control system are defining aspects of World War II radar history
The ENIAC was originally used for military purposes, and it was presented to the public after the war as a computer that would "revolutionize the field of mathematics"
-
-
Higher frequency radar: shorter wavelengths made it easier to focus in on a target that was far away, and also made targets more clear (higher resolution)

Alan Turing created what is known as Turing's Bombe, which is a electro-mechnical device used to decipher messages from the German Enigma machine
