The cavity magnetron-based SCR-720, developed through British-American collaboration, offered precision and reliability Japanese technology couldn't match due to industrial limitations and inter-service rivalry.

This technological asymmetry exemplified how scientific superiority, not just courage, determined modern warfare outcomes.
