Sperry Marine Radar History

Decca Marine RadarThe Decca Marine Group was a direct descendent of the famous Decca Company, which was established before the First World War, manufacturing gramophones and subsequently gramophone records under the Decca label. The move into the marine industry occurred during the Second World War, when the company developed the Decca Navigation System, which was first used on D-Day to assist the Allied minesweepers and troop ships in navigating to the beaches of Normandy. The Decca Navigator System was introduced to commercial markets in 1946 and became a mainstay of electronic navigation throughout Europe and other regions for more than four decades.

 

In 1950, Decca launched its first marine radar product - another product created of wartime necessity and later commercialized. Decca remained at the forefront of marine radar technology and the company was responsible for the first true-motion marine radar, the first anti-collision marine radar and the first type approved color marine radar.

 

The Decca Marine group became part of the Racal Electronics company in 1980, was sold to Litton Industries in 1997, and is now part of Sperry Marine. Today, in keeping with the Decca heritage, Sperry Marine produces a comprehensive range of type approved maritime radars under the well-known BridgeMaster name.
