Military computers Military computers MIL-STD-1750A or 1750A is the formal definition of a 16-bit computer Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), including both required and optional components, as described by the military standard document MIL-STD-1750A (1980). In addition to the core ISA, the definition defines optional instructions, such as a FPU & MMU. Importantly, the standard does not define the implementation details of a 1750A processor. ...more on Wikipedia about "1750A"
The Aegis combat system, named for the mythological aegis shield, is a United States naval integrated missile guidance system. The name is sometimes spelled "AEGIS", supposedly an acronym for phrases such as "Advanced Electronic Guidance Information System". However, such attributions seem to be " backronyms" or fake etymologies. (It is also possible there has been some confusion with the EGIS software used by some AWACS aircraft.) The main manufacturer of the Aegis combat system, Lockheed Martin, makes no mention of it being an acronym ** . ...more on Wikipedia about "Aegis combat system"
(AN/FSQ-7) The AN/FSQ-7 intercept computer, developed by IBM in partnership with the US Air Force. It was used in performing air defense command and control functions for the SAGE air defense system. ...more on Wikipedia about "AN/FSQ-7"
(AN/USQ-17) The AN/USQ-17 or Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) computer referred to in Sperry Rand documents as the Univac M-460, was Seymour Cray's last design for UNIVAC. ...more on Wikipedia about "AN/USQ-17"
The AN/USQ-20, or Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS), was designed as a more reliable replacement for the AN/USQ-17 with the same instruction set. The first batch of 17 computers were delivered to the Navy starting in early 1961. A version of the AN/USQ-20 for use by the other military services and NASA was designated the UNIVAC 1206. Another version, designated the G-40, replaced the vacuum tube UNIVAC 1104 in the BOMARC Missile Program. ...more on Wikipedia about "AN/USQ-20"
(AN/UYK-8) The AN/UYK-8 used the same 30- bit words and instruction set as the AN/USQ-17 and AN/USQ-20 Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) computers, but could have two processors instead of just one. ...more on Wikipedia about "AN/UYK-8"
The F14 CADC, from F-14A Central Air Data Computer, designed by Steve Geller and Ray Holt of Garrett AiResearch Corp. and completed in June 1970, was one of the world's first microprocessors. The MOS- LSI avionics processor and its associated support chip set was developed for the US Navy's F-14 Tomcat fighter jet. ...more on Wikipedia about "F14 CADC" www.shortopedia.com - now!
A fire-control system is a computer, often mechanical, which is designed to assist a weapon system in hitting its target. It performs the same task as a human firing a weapon, for example, an archer or rifleman, but attempts to do so faster and more accurately. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fire-control system"
Naval Tactical Data System, commonly NTDS, refers to a computerized information processing system developed by the United States Navy in the 1950s and first deployed in the early 1960s for use in combat ships. ...more on Wikipedia about "Naval Tactical Data System"
SAGE, the Semi Automatic Ground Environment, was an automated control system for collecting, tracking and intercepting enemy bomber aircraft used by NORAD from the late 1950s into the 1980s. By the time it was fully operational the Soviet bomber threat had been replaced by the Soviet missile threat, for which SAGE was entirely inadequate. ...more on Wikipedia about "Semi Automatic Ground Environment"
The TRADIC (for TRAnsistor DIgital Computer or TRansistorized Airborne DIgital Computer) was a transistorized computer built by J. H. Felker of Bell Labs for the United States Air Force in 1955 (1953 according to one source). ...more on Wikipedia about "TRADIC"
The UNIVAC 1101, or ERA 1101, was a computer system designed by Engineering Research Associates (ERA) and built by the Remington Rand corporation in the 1950s. It was the first stored program computer in the US. ...more on Wikipedia about "UNIVAC 1101"
The UNIVAC 1102 or ERA 1102 was designed by Engineering Research Associates for the United States Air Force's Arnold Engineering Development Center in Tullahoma, Tennessee in response to a request for proposal issued in 1950. The Air Force needed three computers to do data reduction for two wind tunnels and an engine test facility. ...more on Wikipedia about "UNIVAC 1102"
The UNIVAC 1103 or ERA 1103, a successor to the UNIVAC 1101, was a computer system designed by Engineering Research Associates and built by the Remington Rand corporation in October, 1953. ...more on Wikipedia about "UNIVAC 1103"
