D825 - a multiple-computer system for command & control

Abstract

The D825 Modular Data Processing System is the result of a Burroughs study, initiated several years ago, of the data processing requirements for command and control systems. The D825 has been developed for operation in the military environment. The initial system,. constructed for the Naval Research Laboratory with the designation AN/GYK-3(V), has been completed and tested. This paper reviews the design criteria analysis and design rationale that led to the system structure of the D825. The implementation and operation of the system are also described. Of particular interest is the role that developed for an operating system program in coordinating the system components.
