INFRARED NAVIGATION DURING THE WAR
Abstract
The first samples of domestic infrared (hereinafter-IR) navigation devices were created in the late 30-ies of XX century in NII‑9 (Leningrad) and VEI (Moscow). Since the beginning of 1941 their production for the Navy and Air Force was organized, as the article describes in detail. After the war, the development of IR devices continued resulting in full coverage of the range of electromagnetic waves.
