Honored by the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, he literally shared the stage with the leading figures of his day. One of these stations was to be located on the coast near Orford Ness, and Bawdsey Manor was selected to become the main centre for all radar research. In an effort to put a radar defence in place as quickly as possible, Watson-Watt and his team created devices using existing available components, rather than creating new components for the project, and the team did not take additional time to refine and improve the devices.

So long as the prototype radars were in workable condition they were put into production.

  • Whats Meant To Be;

The problem was not the radar, but the flow of information from trackers from the Observer Corps to the fighters, which took many steps and was very slow. Henry Tizard with Patrick Blackett and Hugh Dowding immediately set to work on this problem, designing a 'command and control air defence reporting system' with several layers of reporting that were eventually sent to a single large room for mapping.

Observers watching the maps would then tell the fighter groups what to do via direct communications. By the first three stations were ready, and the associated system was put to the test. The results were encouraging, and an immediate order by the government to commission an additional seventeen stations was given, resulting in a chain of fixed radar towers along the east and south coast of England.

The Germans were aware of the construction of Chain Home but were not sure of its purpose.

They tested their theories with a flight of the Zeppelin LZ , but concluded the stations were a new long-range naval communications system. As early as , it was realized that the Luftwaffe would turn to night bombing if the day campaign did not go well, and Watson-Watt had put another of the staff from the Radio Research Station, Edward Bowen, in charge of developing a radar that could be carried by a fighter. Night time visual detection of a bomber was good to about m, and the existing Chain Home systems simply didn't have the accuracy needed to get the fighters that close.

To reduce the drag of the antennas the operating wavelength could not be much greater than one m, difficult for the day's electronics. Bowen also fitted airborne radar to maritime patrol aircraft known in this application as "ASV" - Air to Surface Vessel and this eventually reduced the threat from submarines. In his English History , historian A. Taylor paid the highest of praise to Watson-Watt, Sir Henry Tizard and their associates who developed and put in place radar, crediting them with being fundamental to victory in the Second World War.

He was knighted in Sir Robert descends from a plinth in Trafalgar Square, London in after speaking at a rally protesting at the spread of nuclear weapons. He established a practice as a consulting engineer. Watson-Watt reportedly was pulled over for speeding in Canada by a radar gun -toting policeman. His remark was, "Had I known what you were going to do with it I would never have invented it! Watson-Watt was married [18] on 20 July in Hammersmith, London to Margaret Robertson, the daughter of a draughtsman; they later divorced and he re-married in in Canada.

In , at the age of 72, he proposed to Dame Katherine Trefusis Forbes , who was 67 years old at the time and had also played a significant role in the Battle of Britain as the founding Air Commander of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force , which supplied the radar-room operatives. They lived together in London in the winter, and at "The Observatory" — Trefusis Forbes' summer home in Pitlochry , Perthshire, during the warmer months.
