[ARC5] Aircraft Radio Corp. and the Rockefellers

An article on Aircraft Radio Corp.'s history available at: 
https://web.archive.org/web/20060823120607/http://www.scr-274-n.info/GWAOPA.PDF 
mentioned the company's collaboration with the Rockefellers on a radar 
jammer, albeit of an unspecified nomenclature.

Meanwhile, a Smithsonian Institution keeps a piece related to the 
AN/APW-11 radar beacon and guidance system for jet bombers:

It seems that the system or its parts were made by the A.R.C.

The AN/APW-11 was used with the AN/APA-90 indicator at least on the 
Martin B-57B bomber (see attachments) and some UAVs.

My question is: could the A.R.C.'s collaboration with the Rockefellers 
be related to the AN/APW-11 + AN/APA-90?
