The SG radar was an American naval surface-search radar developed during the Second World War. The prototype was tested at sea aboard the destroyer USS Semmes in May 1941.[1] It was the first microwave surface-search radar to be equipped with a plan position indicator(PPI). The first operational set was installed aboard the heavy cruiser USS Augusta in April 1942.[2]
