2nd Annual InfoAge WW II Symposium
Program and Presenters
The Wizard War: WWII & The Origins of Radar
Radar was under development for over five years as a very secret program and turned out to be one of the key force multipliers and difference makers throughout the war. Many advances and improvements that saved soldier’s lives were made right here at Camp Evans. This presentation will explain who invented radar and when and then briefly recount many of the ways that radar was so decisive during WWII.

U-boat Activity Off the New Jersey Coast
The New Jersey coastal area is littered with the wreckage of many ships from every historical era. Many of them are directly attributable to the might and persistence of the German Navy. This presentation will highlight much of that conflict that took place right here in our “back yard”.
Dan Lieb – New Jersey Historic Divers Assn.
Electronic Warfare, the “Hidden” Story of the War
This presentation describes the development of highly classified intercept receivers and electronic countermeasures used by the allies to minimize the use of enemy electronic equipment during the war, thereby greatly reducing allied casualties. Much of the technical work was done at Camp Evans and Fort Monmouth.

U.S. Army Signal Corps Tactical Communications
The U.S. Army entered WW II with radios using late 1920’s technology. A typical field radio station was carried on a pack mule. By the end of the war, effective man-carried mobile radios were the rule rather than the exception. Advanced techniques such as frequency modulation, quartz-crystal frequency control and the use of the very-high-frequency spectrum made modern tactical communication, command and control possible.

WW II Vehicles – The advance to Four Wheel Drive and its Aftermath
At the start of WWII, the U.S. Army depended on the Cavalry and horses to travel over difficult terrain. Many conflicts took place in areas that lacked adequately paved roads. In the rapid move to mechanization, something had to be done to overcome these difficulties. Find out how this was accomplished.

WW II Diorama
Scale models of men and equipment in realistic scenarios will be presented for the first time at InfoAge. It marks the beginning of new, permanent displays based on WW II battles that will be continually updated. InfoAge is on its way to becoming New Jersey’s Official World War II Memorial site!
