Austrian-born American actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr died #OTD in 2000.
At the beginning of World War II, along with George Antheil, Lamarr co-invented a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes that used spread spectrum & frequency hopping technology to defeat the threat of radio jamming by the Axis powers. However, the technology was not used in operational systems until after World War II, & then independently of their patent.
