This page notes some interesting radar-orientated snippets as an aperitif to the rest of the Wiki.

Snippets

A summary of the amazing range of electronic aids developed during WW2.

A presentation which covers Marconi radar equipment from WW2 through to that being developed by the successor company.

A compendium of major achievements.

Submissions for a proposed new Marconi company history for the centenary in 1997 made by several senior members of staff, which encapsulate in a personal manner much of the evolution of radar. Although this official record never materialised these comprehensive submissions have survived in the archives and can now be accessed from the individual entries in the People section.

A particular example of how Marconi Radar has played its part in world events - The Falklands Story.

A Silver Jubilee brochure produced in 1994 for Marconi Radar Systems that gives a good overall view of the achievements up to this date.

A promotional film made circa 1968 which has a particular section on radar.

The Present - This is a History but it is interesting to see what our successors are doing now and for the future.
