	Control Data Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seymour Cray was likewise chosen to be the chief designer, but was still in the process of completing an early version of the 1103-based Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) and did not leave to join CDC until this was complete.
		Instead a system was worked out in which they would share profits with the divisions selling their peripherals, a system that would go on to be used throughout the company.
		A variety of systems based on the basic 6600/7600 architecture were re-packaged at different price/performance points as the CDC Cyber, and became CDC's main product line in the 1970s.

		The confused tactical picture in the littoral exacerbates problems inherent in any form of naval air and missile defense, including time-late or spotty target detection and tracking, confusion over a track's intentions or identity, and limits on the performance of sensors on individual ships and aircraft.
		A distributed system that exchanges sensor measurements in a self-configuring, distributed, computer-processing network, it interfaces existing surveillance sensors, weapon and command/decision computers, navigation inputs, fire control sensors, and identification friend or foe processors with a cooperative engagement processor that executes data fusion computations and engagement support.
		It is not a traditional tactical data link by which each unit develops a track from onboard sensors and then correlates that local track with received remote tracks—which often results in dual tracks, track swaps, or miscorrelation.

	Naval tactical data system
		The naval tactical data system (NTDS) is based on the interaction of humans and machines.
		Each link is able to transfer data rapidly to other ships, aircraft, and shore facilities without the delay of human interface (link 14 receive is an exception to this).
		Data is provided on friendly, hostile, and unknown identity tracks.

		The IFF data from one AN/UPX-24(V) can be synchronized with up to four individual radars, eliminating the expense of separate, dedicated IFF systems for each radar and reducing problems caused by over-interrogation.
		The system operates with radar rotation rates of up to 60 RPM and can also be configured to operate with a mechanically rotating IFF antenna.
		The shipboard weapon system can request modes of interrogation and all target information from full scans or in specified sectors of a scan, test targets at specified range and azimuth, and popup target information in a range-azimuth window centered at a specified point.

	Navy League of the United States - Citizens in Support of the Sea Services
		What made this system possible was the introduction of solid-state digital computers that were far more compact, energy-efficient, and durable than their vacuum-tube analog predecessors.
		The two commanders foresaw a system in which the data collected from various lookouts--as well as from radars, sonars, and other sensors of all the ships in a task group--could be shown on the same display to give the tactical commander a real-time overview of the current situation.
		The system was assembled, with contractor assistance, by officers and technicians at the Naval Electronics Laboratory (NEL); initial testing then proceeded and proved NTDS to be a viable concept.

	X-COM Systems: NTDS Explained
		The Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) remains at the heart of naval and joint air defense management systems today.
		In a complex multi-threat combat environment, automated combat direction systems such as NTDS make it possible for people to deal with the massive number of targets and compressed reaction times of modern warfare.
		The system is used to provide information between NTDS-equipped units by tying together the various subsystems, collecting and processing information from ship sensors, and from off-ship sensors, via radio digital data links.

	A CENTRAL ARCHITECTURE REPOSITORY FOR C4ISR SYSTEMS INTEROPERABILITY
		For the past few years, the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) has been developing a Naval Architecture Database (NAD) designed to integrate the Navy's C4ISR operational, systems, and technical architectures in order to support users represented by the program managers, systems engineers, and their equivalents at other CINCs/Services/Agencies.
		Once the central repository is established, various different systems applications may be added to a modular structure, easing change management.
		A fully populated central architecture repository could also be used to provide decision support systems with the capability to query across systems application boundaries to provide management with forecasting, trend analysis, and knowledge-based capabilities combining topics such as fleet deployment, systems capabilities, budget modeling, and systems architecture.
