R.A.dio D.etection A.nd R.anging and it actually detected the Japaneese planes attacking Pearl Harbor but was of such poor quality that they mistook the entire Japaneese attack for a small routine American patrol! It was on a lower frequency and had lower definition the ability to separate individual smaller targets! For that matter the displays were not the same as they were as todays they amounted to an oscilloscope with a single line with a blip on the left being the transmitter and to the right "bumps" were the targets they did not show up on a screen like dots! Mechanical pointers actually showed the direction the antenna was aiming driven by syncronous motors one meter pointed at the azmuth and the other the direction! The round indicator was not introduced until we were into the war!
