Airborne Maritime Surveillance Radar: Volume 2 Post-war British ASV Radars 1946-2000 (IOP Concise Physics)

Today air-to-surface vessel (ASV) radars or more generally maritime surveillance radars are installed on maritime reconnaissance aircraft for long-range detection tracking and classification of surface ships (ASuW - Air to Surface Warfare) and for hunting submarines (ASW - anti-submarine warfare). Such radars were first developed in the UK during WWII as part of the response to the threat to shipping from German U-Boats. This book describes the ASV radars developed in the UK after WWII (1946-2000) and used by the RAF for long-range maritime surveillance.
