Arithmetic Architecture for Surface/Subsurface Bearing - Only Radar Tracking by Microcomputer.
Abstract
Passive localization and tracking techniques are of interest in a variety of microcomputer based surface/subsurface radar applications. Because a significant portion of the cost of building or maintaining a warship is the electronics in its sensor and weapon system, and because a great amount of time and manpower is employed in performing simple but important tasks, microcomputers offer the potential to: (1) Reduce the cost of digital systems, (2) Perform some complex functions at remote stations, relieving the congestion at larger central computer facilities, and (3) Perform functions currently handled by watch personnel, thus reducing the manning requirements of watch sections. An example of this is the problem of manual tracking of radar contacts and the solution of Maneuvering Board Problems. It is the purpose of this study to demonstrate than an alternate approach to the solution of the problems mentioned above can be developed and implemented by using a microcomputer system, while at the same time maintaining a human engineered user interface.
