It begins with the development of radar in the lead up to WWII ending with the fielding of the Chain Home radar network operating in the HF-band. Then the first air and ship borne radars operating in the VHF-band and the first German radar detectors.

Lastly the fielding of radars operating in the X-band and the most advanced German radar detectors.
