2. 1.Early Military
Computers
(1940s-1950s)
ENIAC (1944):
One of the earliest general-purpose
electronic digital computers.
Not directly used inWorldWar II but laid
the groundwork for future military
computing.

3. 2.Expansion and
Integration
(1950s-1980s)
Post-World War II:
Expansion of military computer use.
ColdWar focus on command and control
systems, enhancing strategic planning
and communication.

4. Cold War Era SAGE System (1950s):
 Early computerized air defense system.
 Used large computers for tracking and
intercepting airborne threats.
 The purpose was to detect and track potential
enemy aircraft and coordinate responses,
combining human operators with
computerized data processing.

2.Expansion and
Integration
(1950s-1980s)

5. Cold War Era
(Cont.)
ARPANET (1969):
Precursor to the internet, developed by
DARPA.
Implications for military communication
and command systems.
The purpose of ARPANET was to create a
robust and decentralized communication
network that could withstand a nuclear
attack and facilitate efficient
communication among research
institutions and government agencies.
2.Expansion and
Integration
(1950s-1980s)

6. Missile Defense Systems
(1970s-1980s):
 Computers crucial in developing missile
defense systems.
 Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) proposed by
President Reagan.
 The primary objective of SDI was to develop
advanced technologies that could protect the
United States from potential nuclear missile
attacks.
