GEMA (eBook, ePUB)

Birthplace of German Radar and Sonar

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Harry von Kroge has devoted decades to collecting a mass of statements and widely scattered documentary material about the evolution of GEMA's sonar and radar. This English edition of von Kroge's first important, seminal work discusses previously unavailable parts of the fascinating story of pioneering efforts in learning to see in the darkness. The author provides insights into the difficulties encountered on the way to the first promising results in target detection and ranging without optical visibility. The book includes rare technical descriptions as well as information about industrial and scientific cooperation involving secret equipment in Germany before 1945.
