150917-N-PO203-087 ARLINGTON, Va. (Sept. 17, 2015) The unboxing of a World War II era cavity magnetron, an effective high-power radar transmitter which revolutionized the form and function of all future radars allowing effective, small target detection capability to be incorporated into aircraft and ships. Seventy-five years ago, a British delegation under the leadership of Sir Henry Tizard, came to Washington, D.C. and met with Rear Adm. Harold Bowen, who later became the first chief of naval research and a team of scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory, to put in motion this warfighting advancement that changed the course of the War.
