MIT Radiation Laboratory Over the course of five years, MIT researchers designed 50 percent of the radar used in World War II and invented over 100 different radar systems. Including: • Airborne bombing radars • Shipboard search radars • Harbor and coastal defense radars • Interrogate-friend-or-foe beacon systems • Long-range navigation (LORAN) system • Critical contributions of the Radiation Laboratory were: – the microwave early-warning (MEW) radars, which effectively nullified the V-1 threat to London, and – air-to-surface vessel (ASV) radars, which turned the tide on the U- boat threat to Allied shipping.
