today we must be on guard in the sky when it comes to protecting our resources national resources that are so seemingly i'm resistant to protect the future of america the defense techniques of tomorrow had to be discovered now they were discovered in electronics that is our stage and bursting computers into military service electronics for combat means new concepts new to know whether you are listening to the heartbeat of the sage computer every instrument in this room is constantly monitoring warning aircraft ground observer corps want to be the same nothing to the minute data on all regularly scheduled commercial air flights it also packed away information as to the number location and characteristics of all military craft all anti aircraft all defensive missiles and the best computer is on the job around the clock with twenty four hour a day reliability it is really two computers but only one is an operating system the other with the same vast memory performs a slave checking calculations and result ready to take over in a matter of seconds but the master computer for all this is knowledge in one of the new headquarters of computer defense one of the directions centers of what the air force calls say beyond the fantastic passive or calculation in memory sage possesses the newest and most revolutionary advance in data processing the display screen a computer generated visual display on call as needed until sage the miracle of the computer was its ability to calculate in split seconds and then provide printed information sade's needed more than the what a lightning ships of about all the air force requested from i b m a computer capable of translating values of changing data into a continuous flow of interpretation which could be understood at a glance early events required split second presentations as well as split second calculations given the subject i b m by the latest extension of data processing the displaced the giant picture to which computer results are instantaneously and continuously translated into graphic images in sage ehrman have the battle visualize on the computer generated display two floors above the great computers are the batteries of display scope although they look like the offspring of a marriage between a television tube and radar screen display scopes do not show physical images transmitted from elsewhere they display the results of the computer changing air situation be displayed on the scope but if they are man wishes to see how things got that way the scope can recall any previous phase of the situation on the computer's memory by analyzing the pa the computer can furnish information on the counter measures ability so that the officer in charge can make his choice as to when and where to find one c s selected a plan of counter attack peter guides  protection to the protection which comes with the possession of weapons of retaliation just as our defensive powers have been amassing so have our instruments of attack demands a plane warfare require the fantastic ability of modern computers the question was how could the electronic computer be made arable problems of consequence when designing a computer for ground installation became airborne computer by designing an electronic assembly package them self contained units which are then joined a computer of flexible construction with a chip it can either be installed in a compact unit or parts can be distributed under all conditions an airborne computer is likely to be exposed to and some highly unlikely ones i doubt it to jump to one hundred twenty thousand feet low temperatures down to one hundred degrees below zero high temperatures up to two hundred degrees  a military in order to test a unit of an airborne computer the technician merely selects the proper controls he then plugs the units into the test equipment and the signal lights tell him whether the units are working or not this puts testing computer units in the same class as testing like today the airborne computer is no longer there is now an experiment itself tested functional practical respect it has gone into production under the label rain bombing radar navigation equipment a new and as long as we're on guard as long as we are ready to look ahead and move ahead the future of america is secure
