There is actually a whole backstory to people ignoring the idea because she was a woman etc. The navy initially turned down the technology when she presented it. More the the main point I made above- people did not know what they were looking at because they could not think of how important it would be or how it could evolve.
- dnautics 6y agoI thought they turned it down because the permittivity of radio through the seawater dielectric made it impractical.
- deepnotderp 6y agoYou're correct, and at the frequencies at which permittivity is reasonable, FHSS is much less effective. And Hedy Lamarr was far from the first person to come up with FHSS for communications.
