Uncover one of the most brilliant and highly classified secrets of World War II: the Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD). This video explores the innovative technology that gave Allied forces an unprecedented ability to hunt German U-boats, even after they slipped beneath the waves.
Learn the science behind how the MAD system worked, detecting the minute disturbances a submarine's massive steel hull created in the Earth's magnetic field. Deployed on the formidable Grumman TBF Avenger starting in 1943, this sensor, while limited in range, offered pinpoint precision. It was the perfect tool for confirming a U-boat's exact location just moments before an attack, solving the critical problem of a submarine "vanishing" after a dive.
For much of the war, the existence of this anti-submarine warfare (ASW) technology was a top-secret. This crucial secrecy meant the German Kriegsmarine remained completely unaware of the threat, leaving them unable to develop countermeasures. Discover the story of the game-changing device that made the ocean transparent and became a key component in winning the Battle of the Atlantic.
