Chain Home was the codename for the ring of coastal radar stations built by the British before and during World War II. The system otherwise known as AMES Type 1 (Air Ministry Experimental Station) comprised of radar fixed on top of a radio tower mast, called a 'station' to provide long-range detection of aircraft. This system had shortcomings in not being able to detect aircraft at lower altitudes and thus was used in conjunction with the Chain Home Low system, or AMES Type 2 which could detect aircraft flying at minimum altitude level of 500 ft.
