The Charm System Design

Abstract

CHARM, an abbreviation for CAA High-Altitude Remote Monitor, is an exploratory effort in air traffic control and its integration and cooperation with air defense. CHARM's basic objectives are to test, evaluate, and demonstrate techniques and equipment which might in the future be incorporated in air traffic control or air defense systems. Two new techniques highlight CHARM's design: a manually operated teletype connected directly to the computer, with teletype acknowledgement to the operator; and transmission of a computer-generated display to a monitor console at a remote location over telephone data circuits.
