MICROELECTRONIC RADAR INTERCEPT CALCULATOR (RIC).

Abstract

This is the final report on the Microelectronic Radar Intercept Calculator called R.I.C. R.I.C. is the first attempt to construct an air-to-air and air-to-ground intercept computer using silicon integrated circuits. Through this effort a small, lightweight, low power intercept computer was constructed, suitable for the highly mobile tactical environment. R.I.C. is 16 in. X 16 in. X 5 in., weighing 38 pounds and required 210 watts of power. R.I.C. primarily uses digital silicon integrated circuits, implemented with transistors in the power supply and MOS shift registers for the memory. Use of NIXIE readouts is incorporated to provide data display. (Author)
