Abstract
This article presents a brief history of the radar technology, from a sociotechnical approach. Thus, the analysis is centered in the cases of simultaneous development during the 1930’s and until the end of World War II in Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, United States, the ex ussr. The concept of co-creation is used in order to explain how technology and society were mutually shaped and, therefore, different socio-technical styles, linked to the radar, arose. The article is based on secondary sources and is a contribution to the history of a technology about which there is little material in Spanish.
