The SCR-658 radar is a radio direction finding set introduced by the U. S. Army in 1944, was developed in conjunction with the SCR-268 radar. It was preceded by the SCR-258. Its primary purpose was to track weather balloons. Prior to this it was only possible to track weather balloons with a theodolite, causing difficulty with visual tracking in poor weather conditions. The set is small enough to be portable and carried in a Ben Hur trailer.

| - Le SCR-658 (Signal Corps Radio numéro 658) succéda au radar SCR-258 et fut développé en même temps que le radar SCR-268, le premier radar opérationnel américain. Sa mission principale fut de suivre les ballons-sondes lors de radiosondages en remplacement du théodolite manuel difficile à utiliser par mauvais temps. Ce radar était de faible dimension permettant de le déplacer rapidement d'un endroit à l'autre grâce à la remorque Ben Hur. Il n'existe qu'un seul survivant de ce radar, au National Museum of the United States Air Force de Dayton (Ohio). (fr)
