TC-2A Technical Evaluation.

Abstract

As the requirements imposed on the A-7E aircraft increased and future requirements were considered, it was evident that the Tactical Computer, AN/ASN-91(V) (the TC-2), would not be able to handle the increased load. After investigations of four areas of improvement, modifications increasing the speed and capacity resulted in a new computer called the TC-2A. Four preproduction and two production models, were evaluated. This report describes the tests facilities and typical tests made in evaluating the units. The objectives of the technical evaluation of the TC-2A were: to determine under laboratory and controlled flight conditions whether the new computer could be integrated with hardware and software that are used in the A-7E aircraft and receive data from or deliver signals to the tactical computer, and to find its strengths and weaknesses as compared to the TC-2.
