Radar, electromagnetic sensor used for detecting, locating, tracking, and recognizing objects of various kinds at considerable distances. It operates by transmitting electromagnetic energy toward objects, commonly referred to as targets, and observing the echoes returned from them. The targets may be aircraft, ships, automotive vehicles, and astronomical bodies, or even birds, insects, and rain. Besides determining the presence, location, and velocity of such objects, radar can sometimes obtain their size and shape as well. What distinguishes radar from optical and infrared sensing devices is its ability to detect faraway objects under adverse weather conditions and to determine their range, or distance, with precision.

The evolution of destroyer escort design dated back to 1939, when basic characteristics were established for ships that could be built rapidly and in large numbers without interfering with production of machinery and armament for other types. A ~300-foot hull needed only 10–20 per cent of the horsepower of a contemporary destroyer to achieve 21–24 knots, sufficient for the task. Steam or diesel power could be used; 5-inch guns were preferred but 3-inch would do. Close-in anti-aircraft defenses evolved as in destroyers from the ineffective 1.1-inch cannon to the standard 40mm and 20mm weapons. Torpedoes were initially carried in some classes in case of a surface threat, and of course there were depth charges and hedgehogs plus sonar and radar that were essential to their mission. More

It was founded in 1945 and serves communities interested in navigation and positioning on land, air, sea and space. It is a worldwide organization with members in more than 50 countries. As of 2014, the ION has approximately 2,800 members. During World War II, the field of navigation experienced "dramatic developments [during] a period of fast-moving changes... People recognized the need for an organization to provide a forum for discussion [of the] various aspects of navigation." Dr. Samuel Herrick, assistant professor of astronomy at UCLA, proposed an institute for navigation. Dr. Herrick envisioned a research center and publication of a journal. On June 25, 1945, the Institute of Navigation was founded at an organizational meeting held at UCLA. The Institute's journal, NAVIGATION, was first published in March 1946. In 1961, aviator Dot Lemon became the ION's first woman president. More
