Historical information and usage

The FuG 218 "NEPTUN" radar was developed and introduced in Nazi Germany (the Third Reich) in 1944 as a key piece of equipment for night fighters during Allied carpet bombing raids. The system was installed on the most advanced aircraft of the time, such as the Messerschmitt Me 262, Arado Ar 234, Dornier Do 335, Heinkel He 219, and many other specially adapted Luftwaffe aircraft. FuG 218 was Germany’s response to the Allies’ advancement in radar technology and was intended to improve night target acquisition capabilities.
