Cost Reduction Study of a Computer for Inertial Navigation.

Abstract

A six month study was conducted to determine the feasibility of reducing the cost of the NDC-1050A, an existing inertial navigation computer. The goal of the study was to obtain at least a one-third reduction in cost. The outcome of the study is a computer, designated the NDC-1050D, which features a medium scale integration (MSI) approach in its logic sections, a low cost hybrid (NDRO/DRO) memory, an integrated control/display panel, and a highly efficient power supply.
