Sir Robert Watson-Watt

Sir Robert Watson-Watt was a pioneering scientist and engineer who developed radar technology in the 1930s. Radar uses radio waves to detect objects, such as aircraft, even in bad weather or darkness. His work was crucial in enhancing aerial security and was vital during World War II for early warning systems, helping to defend against enemy attacks. Watson-Watt's innovations laid the foundation for modern radar and greatly advanced aviation safety and military strategy.
