Anniversary of the Joint Services Electronics Program (40th),
Abstract
The importance and impact of technology evolved as the result of basic and applied research in the various scientific disciplines became most visible in the period when the United States was involved in World War II. Radar, sonar, advanced communications, and identification systems are but a few of the items of warfare introduced and used by our armed forces during that dismal epoch. These systems and their uses were the products of a broad program of intensified study in physics, electronics, mathematics and, indeed, the various disciplines of biological and behavioral sciences. When World War II ended, not only was there the rush by U.s. service personnel to return to their civilian occupations, but in addition, the numerous scientific groups who had volunteered for military research and development service in our country's laboratories were also disbanded. Almost 40 years ago, far-sighted Americans, recognizing the need for a continuation, in some form, of the university/military research program, propelled the establishment of the Joint Services electronics Program (JSEP), with which this volume is concerned. It is published in comemoration of this Fortieth Anniversary.
