[[File:FuMB-7 Naxos and FuMB-26 Tunis antenna.jpg|thumb|right|The naval version of Naxos was used by U-boats to detect aircraft carrying ASV Mk. III radars, which had been developed from the H2S equipment. This U-boat is equipped with the ''Fliege'' and ''Tunis'' antennas.]]

The '''Naxos''' [[radar warning receiver]] was a [[World War II]] German countermeasure to [[S band]] microwave radar produced by a [[cavity magnetron]]. Introduced in September 1943, it replaced [[Metox]], which was incapable of detecting centimetric radar. Two versions were widely used, the '''FuG 350 Naxos Z''' that allowed [[night fighter]]s to home in on [[H2S radar]]s carried by [[RAF Bomber Command]] aircraft, and the '''FuMB 7 Naxos U''' for [[U-boat]]s, offering early warning of the approach of [[RAF Coastal Command]] [[patrol aircraft]] equipped with [[ASV Mark III radar]]. A later model, '''Naxos ZR''', provided warning of the approach of RAF night fighters equipped with [[AI Mk. VIII radar]].
