150917-N-PO203-103 ARLINGTON, Va. (Sept. 17, 2015) Dr. Larry Schuette, director of the Office of Research (Discovery and Invention) at the Office of Naval Research (ONR), holds a World War II era cavity magnetron, a high-power radar transmitter which revolutionized the form and function of all future radars which allowed for effective, small target detection capability to be incorporated into aircraft and ships. On Sept. 19, 1940, 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.
