Perhaps you’re thinking of Tesla’s radio controlled submersibles, first demonstrated at the 1893 Columbian Exposition (it was in 1893 because they were a year late in the planning etc), giving him priority over Marconi (Tesla sued over Marconi’s unlicensed use of his radio patents).
I don’t think Tesla attempted to apply his work to guided weapons systems though I could be wrong and will look into that. As far as bio’s, “Hedy’s Folly: The Life and Breakthrough Inventions of Hedy Lamarr, the Most Beautiful Woman in the World”. Very cool read. She was given the National Medal of Technology by Clinton as I recall.
