Since the Pentagon started paying MIT to develop the technology during WWII, there has probably never been a time of no restrictions by the US government on the publication and the export of radar technology.
If you want to inquire into the effects restrictions on radar technology have had on US competitiveness, there's no need to look for lessons in the history of restrictions on a very different technology.
- kragen 4y agoprobably the effect restrictions had on radar technology 50 years ago when they were trying to restrict the export of (guessing) high-power radio amplifier tubes and ultra-low-noise amplifiers will be different from the effect restrictions have today when they are trying to keep people from explaining to each other how passive radar works and very similar to the effect they had 30 years ago when they were trying to keep people from explaining to each other how cryptography worked disclaimer, i'm not related to krakenrf
