Tesla, inventor of ASDIC

<HTML>Hi all,

Came across this today while reading about Nikola Tesla. It seems he was the inventor/visionary of the Asdic device. Here\'s the text.

At the beginning of World War I, Tesla described a means for detecting ships at sea. His idea was to transmit high-frequency radio waves that would reflect off the hulls of vessels and appear on a fluorescent screen. The idea was too far ahead of its day, but it was one of the first descriptions of what we now call radar. Tesla was also the first to warn of an era when flying vehicles without wings could be remotely controlled to land with an explosive charge on an unsuspecting enemy. (V-1)

Thought I would share that with you all!

Best regards,

Fin Bonset
