Luftwaffe Night Fighter Device


Does any reader of the Forum know what the AWG1, AWG 1, or AWG-1 device was and what the abbreviation means in German?

The term seems to apply to a device retro-fitted to Ju 88Gs and perhaps other subtypes and possibly Bf 110Gs from ca. early summer 1944. The installation
work was done in the usual maintenance and repair stations, not at unit level, and apparently took ca. two days start to finish.

In addition to German designation and meaning of AWG 1, what is/was the proper way to write the abbreviation: AWG1, AWG 1, or AWG-1?

Thanks to all who may share their expertise. I cannot find any mention in Aders, Hinchcliffe, Streetly, Price, Boiten, or Google, yet there are dozens of references to the equipment in ULTRA.
