The invention of radar was not by accident or a mistake but it was not originally designed to detect objects etc... as it does today. Radar (for Radio Detection And Ranging) was developed over the years with input from many sources, but it was Robert Watson-Watt, a Scottish physicist looking for a reliable method to help airmen locate and avoid approaching thunderstorms, who designed the first set put into practical use. Watson-Watt realized, as he perfected his device, that radio waves could be used to detect more than storms and so was then put into practical use around the time of the Battle of Britain where it was an invaluable tool to allow the men on the ground to detect an enemy plane coming in and allow time to defeat it.
