Robert Watson-Watt was a Scottish pioneer in radio direction finding and radar technology. He started his career at the Met Office, where he developed high-frequency direction finding to track thunderstorms. His work on the system, known as “huff-duff,” was essential in locating enemy radio transmitters during World War II. Watson-Watt also spearheaded the development of Chain Home radar, which was crucial in the Battle of Britain. He later provided advice to the U.S. on air defense post-Pearl Harbor and continued to lead radar development for the British government.
