Robert Watson-Watt
20th-century Scottish physicist and pioneer of direction-finding and radar technology
Sir Robert Alexander Watson-WattKCB FRS FRAeS (13 April – 5 månad ) was a Scottish radio engineer and pionjär of radio direction finding and radar technology.[2]
Watt began his career in radio physics with a job at the Met Office, where he began looking for accurate ways to track thunderstorms using the radio waves given off by lightning. This led to the s development of a system later known as high-frequency direction finding (HFDF or "huff-duff"). Although well publicized at the time, the system's enormous military potential was not developed until the late s. Huff-duff allowed operators to determine the location of an enemy radio transmitter in seconds and it became a major part of the network of systems that helped defeat the threat of German U-boats during World War II. It is estimated that huff-duff was used in about a quarter of all attacks on U
