The Luftwaffe identified a need for an aircraft that could combat the growing number of RAF Mosquito night fighters, which were attacking Germany. This quest led to the impressive Me-262B-1a/U1 night fighter, fitted with FuG-218 Neptun long-wave length search radar and its attendant Hirschgeweih (Stag antlers) antennae, as well as Naxos centimetric-radar-homing gear that detected the H2S radar scanners of RAF bombers.
