  • Abstract
    After the almost simultaneous, independent invention of radar in several countries of the world in the mid-1930s, radar development progressed rapidly with its use by both sides during World War II. Since then, radar has been growing through the years in both capability and in applications. In this paper, highlights of the first fifty years of modern radar development are briefly reviewed, current areas of interest are mentioned, and illustrations of many of the radars of the 1980s are given.
