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

2 ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY

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

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

5 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

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

7 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

8 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

9 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
