When the radar defence of Great Britain was set up, Robert Watson-Watt and his team created a chain of radar stations around the coastline.
The term ionosphere and hence, the etymology of its derivatives, was proposed by Robert Watson-Watt.
The first radar experiments in the United Kingdom in 1935 by Robert Watson-Watt demonstrated the principle of radar by detecting a Handley Page Heyford bomber at a distance of 12 km using the BBC shortwave transmitter at Daventry.
The first was the presence of an Adcock antenna, an arrangement of four masts that allowed the signal to be directed through phase differences.

Rowe replaced Robert Watson-Watt as Superindentent of the Bawdsey Research Station where the Chain Home RDF system was developed, and in 1938–1945 was the Chief Superintendent of the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE), which carried out pioneering research on microwave radar.
Speakers included the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Hilary Benn, and the chief scientist of the UK government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), Professor Robert Watson.
From the 1960s, Sir Robert Watson-Watt, an inventor of radar, and his wife, Dame Katherine Jane Trefusis Forbes, Director of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force in World War II, lived at her summer house, "The Observatory," in Pitlochry.
The three join the Royal Canadian Air Force to enter Germany and pose as musicians to gain access to Hitler, played by Robert Watson.
