Foil 27 Command and Control and Avionics

From HPCC Applications in Industry IDA Presentation -- October 31,1994. by Geoffrey C. Fox * Critical Information in IMAGE
DOD maybe only will sponsor about two new airframes in the next ten years doe to peace dividend ----> maybe no more aircraft for given company
But we can consider replacing all existing computers in:
  • aircraft
  • ships
  • local and global commands in all branches of DOD
What will factor of 1000 increase in performance allow us to do in:
  • Avionics: claim no more Mips needed, but can at least waste Mips and use standard distributed software
  • Mission Control: signal processing and planning will surely be able to use any available Mips - "Pilot's Associate", but many new algorithms still to be discovered.
