Activity During WWII

From 1943 to 1945 he worked at the MIT Radiation Laboratory. He worked to develop microwave radar systems small enough to be deployed on blimps and aircraft. They were used during the Battle of the Atlantic to detect German U-Boats and allow the safer passage of the vast fleet of American supply ships to Great Britain and the USSR.
