Searchwater 2000MR.Today, air-to-surface vessel (ASV) radars, or more generally maritime surveillance radars, are installed on maritime reconnaissance aircraft for long-range detection, tracking and classification of surface ships (ASuW--anti-surface warfare) and for hunting submarines (ASW--anti-submarine warfare). Such radars were first developed in the UK during WWII as part of the response to the threat to shipping from German U-Boats. This book describes the ASV radars developed in the UK after WWII (1946-2000) and used by the RAF for long-range maritime surveillance.The book will be of interest to the history of technology community, represented by members of IET, IEEE, professional radar engineers, students of radar, the Defence Electronics History Society, museum curators, etc.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Simon Watts graduated from the University of Oxford in 1971, obtained an MSc and DSc from the University of Birmingham in 1972 and 2013, respectively, and a PhD from the CNAA in 1987. He is author and co-author of over 80 journal and conference papers, a book on sea clutter, and Airborne Maritime Surveillance Radar.Title from PDF title page (viewed on September 10, 2018).
