German Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine Radar Equipment during World War II, relied on an increasingly diverse array of communications, IFF and RDF equipment for its function. Most of this equipment received the generic prefix FuG ( German : Funkgerät ), meaning "radio equipment".
Radar in World War II greatly influenced many important aspects of the conflict. [1] This revolutionary new technology of radio-based detection and tracking was used by both the Allies and Axis powers in World War II , which had evolved independently in a number of nations during the mid 1930s.

A closeup shot of the same sort of dual-radar antenna installation A Bf 110 G-4 in the RAF Museum in Hendon, with second-generation FuG 220 Hirschgeweih antennas, without the short-range FuG 202. The Lichtenstein radar was among the earliest airborne radars available to the Luftwaffe in World War II and the first one used exclusively for air ...
FuG 224 Berlin A, and the contemporary FuG 240 Berlin N1 or Nachtjagd air interception radar, [1] [2] both made use of captured examples of the British cavity magnetron in the H2S radar. A H2S-equipped Short Stirling bomber had crashed near Rotterdam on the night of 2 February 1943. [3] This led to H2S being given the German codename Rotterdam ...
The low-UHF band Würzburg radar was the primary ground-based tracking radar for the Wehrmacht's Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine (German Navy) during World War II. Initial development took place before the war and the apparatus entered service in 1940. Eventually, over 4,000 Würzburgs of various models were produced.
Abdullah – British radar homing system for attacking German radar sites - carried by rocket-armed Typhoons for Operation Overlord. [1] Aircraft interception (AI) radar) – Night fighter radar. [2] [3] Airborne Cigar (A.B.C.) – Combination of high-speed scanner and three high-power transmitters.
The FuG 240 "Berlin" was an airborne interception radar system operating at the "lowest end" of the SHF radio band (at about 3.3 GHz/9.1 cm wavelength), which the German Luftwaffe introduced at the very end of World War II. It was the first German radar to be based on the cavity magnetron, which eliminated the need for the large multiple dipole ...
Individual aircraft were sent to orbit fixed positions 50 miles (80 km) off the enemy coast. By using nine aeroplanes, a 200-mile (320 km) gap could be knocked into the German's radar coverage, while further jammers were carried in the bomber stream to counter the inland Freya network. [4]
