Cybernetics Technology Office Demonstration and Development Facility (CTO/DDF)

Abstract

Computer Corporation of America (CCA) has completed a one-year project designed to continue and expand the operation of a Demonstration and Development Facility (DDF). The DDF was a first-of-a-kind research facility used to integrate, demonstrate, and transfer computer-based research products. The DDF also provided computer resources and support services for the development of entirely new research products. The DDF began in 1977 under funding from what was then the ARPA Cybernetics Technology Office (CTO). During its first year, the DDF devoted itself exclusively to CTO-funded Crisis Management research. Beginning with fiscal 1979, CCA expanded the scale of the DDF operation to serve researchers working on all CTO programs. CCA also conducted intensive technology transfer efforts in support of four selected CTO research programs: Combat Readiness/Effectiveness, Advanced Decision Technology, Command Systems Cybernetics, and Crisis Management. In the three other selected programs, the activity was new to the DDF but closely related to previous CCA work.
