Electronic Data System
Abstract
An Electronic Data System (EDS) is described which offers a means of increasing the speed, accuracy, and capacity of the CIC organization for handling data concerning combat targets. Relatively simple electronic techniques such as the Electronic Pencil Coordinator, (conducting-glass data takeoff) the PPI Retrace Insertion Unit, the Capacitor Store, the Velocity Derivation Unit, the Automatic Summary Plotting Board, the Height Size and Identity Store, the Conducting Glass Multiple Target Designation System, and the Coordinate Converters for XY-R8, R8-XY, and HRs have been developed and integrated into a complete CIC system. Maximum use of existing installations minimizes cost and time required for production, installation, training, and maintenance. Simplified central stores provide a flexibility of design which permits the expansion of operating features and capacity while maintaining compatibility with systems in current use, and with the most advanced data-processing systems under consideration.
