Air to Surface Vessel (ASV) radars first entered service with RAF Coastal Command early in 1940, in response to the rapidly emerging U-boat threat to Atlantic shipping. Over the next 5 years there was an extraordinary growth in this new technology, including the development of the magnetron, which was to play a key role in the defeat of the U-boat threat. This talk describes the radar systems developed in the UK and USA for use in airborne maritime surveillance.
