The existence of technological explosion in computer equipment and programming makes it necessary to re-examine strategic command and control for possible applications and to find effective ways to implement the applications which are identified. The report indicates the applications to which presently installed equipment can be made by adding multiprogramming features to the system and to introduce equipment and programs for time-sharing. The technical description includes equipment characteristics, system programs ...
This report is concerned with multiple-line redundancy, a means of increasing the reliability of electronic systems. It describes in detail a procedure for synthesizing redundant systems in an optimum manner. The procedure balances the reliability advantage of redundancy against the cost, weight and power penalties it introduces. It is also applicable to other problems which require the optimization of a large number of binary decisions. The report describes a program ...
