I’m sure you are right. The prototype 104’s did have an APG-34 fire control radar but I accept that is not AI stuff. Back then (the ‘50s) we considered an interceptor to be a fighter designed to get as far away from base in the direction of the incoming raid as quickly as possible while the location of the target was entirely by following the fighter controllers instructions based on his ground radar. Speed and time to height was all that mattered. I’ll go back to my deck chair now.
