Computer History 1967 Naval Photo Intelligence Systems; Security; AN/UYK-1 NTDS, UNIVAC

Computer History (1967): An excellent U.S. Navy Training Film, in full color, explains the Photo Interpretation System, which used the Navy’s AN/UYK-1 and AN/USQ-20 Computers, and peripheral devices. Great footage of the SCV (“Stereometric Comparison Viewer”), Digital Plotter, and Teletypewriter used in Navy’s Photo Intelligence systems. We provided some minor restoration edits, and explanatory labels to increase viewing enjoyment. Nice vintage 1960’s computing equipment.
The Photo Interpretation (“PI”) system was part of the Computerized Integrated Operational Intelligence System (“IOIS”). The Univac AN/USQ-20 computer was part of the Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) network. Original film courtesy of the U.S. National Archives. Restoration edits by Computer History Archives Project. We hope you enjoy this great piece of history.

UNIVAC – NTDS: Naval Tactical Data System
http://ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/univac-ntds.html

(from Wikipedia) The AN/USQ-20, or Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS), was designed as a more reliable replacement for the Seymour Cray-designed AN/USQ-17 with the same instruction set. The first batch of 17 computers were delivered to the Navy starting in early 1961. A version of the AN/USQ-20 for use by the other military services and NASA was designated the UNIVAC 1206. Another version, designated the G-40, replaced the vacuum tube UNIVAC 1104 in the BOMARC Missile Program. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/USQ-20
