The proximity fuze was one of the most important and secret weapons that the Allies had in WW2.
British military researchers at the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) started researching the radio version.
On the US side the difficult challenge of putting one in an artillery shell (severe forces) was developed at the Advanced Physics Lab (APL) of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
This invention was useful not for artillery which helped win the Battle of the Bulge but also allowed US Ships to protect themselves with anti aircraft shells aimed at Japanese Kamakazi or suicide pilots and to shoot down German V1 buzz bombs (first suicide drones) in Britain.
