Tube Alloys the features, science and idea behind the American Fat Man implosion-type nuclear weapon. He broke down the development tasks required to replicate it, identifying outstanding questions that required further research on nuclear weapons. On 3 October 1952, under the code-name "Operation Hurricane", the first British nuclear device was successfully detonated in the Monte Bello Islands off the west coast of Australia. The Sputnik crisis and the development of the British hydrogen bomb led to the Atomic Energy Act being amended in 1958, and to a resumption of the nuclear Special Relationship between America and Britain under the 1958 US–UK Mutual
Radar, Anti-Aircraft No. 3 Mk. 7 ten years off suggested no major production should take place, as developments in the interim would render any radars built in that period obsolete. However, various events in 1949, notably the first Soviet atomic test, led to sweeping upgrades, including the first contract for production Mk. 7's. These began to arrive in 1952. The Swiss Air Force received twelve Mk. 7's in 1958, which they referred to as Feuerleitradar ("fire control radar") Mark VII. They combined them with their own predictor, the Hasler-built "Kommandogerät" ("command device") 43/50R. Like its British counterpart, the 43/50R could be fed information directly from the
