Minicomputer System Study.

Abstract

Minicomputers were observed in light of United States Army Aviation Systems Command (AVSCOM), Systems Analysis Office (SAO), Scientific and Engineering (S and E) current and forecasted computer requirements. The SAO computer requirements were isolated based on its present and programmed work load. Commensurate with those computer requirements and the SAO work load, compelling considerations in selecting a minicomputer were amassed and analyzed. That analysis resulted in criteria and a method for selecting the appropriate minicomputer to provide generalized S and E computer support to the United States Army Aviation REsearch and Development Command (AVRADCOM), and in particular the AVRADCOM Directorate for Plans and Analysis, Systems and Cost Analysis Division.
