How Radar and C4I systems role in Battle of Britain Student’s Name Institution Course Instructor’s Name Date Abstract The Battle of Britain was a conflict between the British Royal Air Force, commanded by Sir Hugh Dowding’s Fighter Command, and the German Luftwaffe, directed by Hermann Göring, which erupted over Britain for twelve weeks between July and October 1940. Germany’s Hitler had a goal of winning the fight so as to give him a preface to the invasion of Britain. Hitler organized and led a force of more than 1,200 fighters and 1,350 bombers first against shipping, airbases, and ultimately against cities. Besides, the peak of the war came on September 15, when the Luftwaffe lost 56 aircraft, as the Royal Air Force lost 28 planes. Within the twelve-week conflict, 1,733 German planes had been destructed, as opposed to 915 British bombers. As the battle progressed, both sides applied different strategies. For example, the British forces, through their Fighter Command, applied the C4I system and the radar technology that promoted effective communication, interception, and signaling operations in the battle. Ultimately, while the British won the war, the triumph came with the loss of lives. A total of 23,002 civilians lost their lives and 32,138 injured over the period of the war. The paper will analyze the Battle of Britain in regards to the role played by the C4I system and radar.
