1979 Norden Systems Battery Computer U.S. Army Computer History Archives - Grumman (2016x7)
Exibido em:: Jun 12, 2016
A partially restored vintage Army film showing the Norden Battery Computer System of 1979. Ten systems were built for the Army as part of a research and development project to control mobile howitzers in the field. The Army expanded the contract in 1980. Norden became a part of Northrop Grumman and operated until 2013.
Testing was done by U.S. Army at Fort Sill Oklahoma; software testing was done at Aberdeen Missile Ground. A fascinating, short video originally a promotional piece for Norden. ~ Special thanks to the CECOM History Archive, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, for the vintage film clip.
