The early development of radar was driven primarily by military imperatives, and the
targets that were to be detected were mainly aircraft and ships. It was no surprise that echoes
were also received from terrain and from rainstorms, but the discovery, during World War
II, that birds were often detectable was less expected. As the technology developed, and
specially after transmission at the shorter ‘microwave’ wavelengths became commonplace,
echoes from insects were also identified. In the late 1940’s and the 1950’s, radar technology
was adapted rapidly to the needs of meteorologists, while ornithologists pioneered the use of
defence and air-traffic control radars to study bird migration.

Radar observations of insects, however, were relatively sparse until the early 1960’s,
when radar meteorologists became rather intensely interested in a type of warm-weather echo
that appeared, puzzlingly from their perspective, when there was not a cloud in sight. Perhaps
spurred by the meteorologists’ observations, entomologists began their own exploitation of
the technology in 1968, when a rather modest radar, built by G.W. Schaefer specifically for
insect observation and operated in West Africa just south of the Sahara, proved to be very
effective.
