Software description

[edit]

I wrote software for two NTDS-family computers for a shore-based application but know nothing of the software that was used to collect and display data on board ships. Can anyone fill this hole in?

Other I/O peripherals

[edit]

I just know of radars, teletype=-based consoles, and tape drives for program load. Does anyone else have more complete information?

From 1962 through 1968, there were interfaces to radar display consoles, including height finder radars, analog to digital converters that brought in course and speed data, interfaces to analog and digital missile fire control systems, video processors supporting automated tracking, data links (teletype and digital) linking ships, aircraft, possibly USMC ground based air defense systems, interfaces to special purpose systems that fed NTDS with satellite and inertial navigation systems data. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.150.190.187 (talk) 00:15, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
