Technology and Homeland Security in WWII By: Orlin Zlatarski, Max Utner, and Max Schock

ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY

Blitzkrieg (lightning war) Highly-mechanized Penetration + Overpowering Ideas from Germans, British, and French

Radar and Sonar Originally called RDF (radio direction finder) Developed by British Enabled a decisive British victory in the Battle of Britain (1940)

Rocket Propulsion Enabled first long ranged missiles Randomly fell after certain number of rotations of propeller By end of WWII, ± 1.5 km off target Amazingly accurate Computer programmed (4 bits program) Called Doodlebugs by British because of their buzz sound

Jet Planes Germans developed it first Came late in the war (1944 – mass production) Not perfected, hardly strategically advantageous

Norden Bombsight Developed by the US (little prior to WWII) German spy Herbert Lang leaked information to German Luftwaffe officials Used widely by German Luftwaffe by 1942

Proximity Fuze Developed by: Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, US Enabled detonation of explosive device after it reached a predetermined radius Very effective Substantial influence on the outcome of WWII due to its accuracy and effectively Used in Battle of the Bulge against enemy personnel, and against Kamikazis

Atomic Bomb Little Boy (Hiroshima) and Fat Man (Nagasaki) Caused Japanese to exit from war Major implications in following Cold War Developed by the American: Robert Oppenheimer under direction of Leslie Groves
