Abstract
There exists a need for a simulation program that will enable a
programmer to simulate systems such as the Naval Tactical Data System
(NTDS), Marine Corps Tactical Data System (MTDS), Airborne Tactical Data
System (ATDS), or any other system that uses radar or sonar information
for operation. A programming project was undertaken using the Control
Data 160U Computer (CDC I60U ) and the Data Display Incorporated model
dd65 Display Console (DD65) as the basic hardware. The program developed
features on-line control of the CDC 1604 by the DD65, display of simulated
targets and messages on the DD65, control of tracks by operating
personnel from the DD65, continuous graph output for permanent record
purposes, and real time or double real time operation. This program
can be expanded to provide more features of any of the tactical data
systems by the addition of the appropriate subroutines.
