The Pentagon will upgrade the control system of the "nuclear shield"

The American Automated Nuclear Power Management System (SACCS) has so far been using outdated IBM Series / 1 computers manufactured in 70's as well as 8-inch diskettes storing information to transmit commands. Interfax resource message N + 1.

IBM Series / 1 Mini PC

According to the resource, the Pentagon decided to upgrade the SACCS system by the end of next year.

As noted in her report, the Main Control and Financial Department, in the United States, several other departments use outdated computers and programs besides the military department.

In particular, “the US Treasury Department uses a program written in 1950's to authorize taxpayer credentials,” the department noted.

Help edition: “SACCS earned in January 1968 of the year. Initially, it was based on IBM AN / FSQ-31 computing systems by October 1975, completely replaced by new IBM Series / 1. The control system is responsible for coordinating the actions of intercontinental ballistic missiles, strategic bombers and submarine ballistic missiles. ”

It's a pity that not on the perforated maps of the 60s, or on the film for "Spring202" or "Jupiter". The 21st century still needs to go over to birch bark

Zero performance but reliability at the ax level! Computers have worked for 50 years! Respect ibm but here you could do a long upgrade!

In winter, I went over the stocks in the garage, found my old IBM 286 system unit and an EGA monitor in a standing corner. It was cold, but decided to turn it on, and it didn’t seem strange to work, DOS 6.22, Lexicon, Engine, everything works. By the way, floppy disks of the 90s still work, modern ones fly off after 3-4 records.
And part of our combat control system is also from those years. In these systems, the main thing is reliability and reliability, and the amount of data is not so big. Beautiful 3D graphics are not needed.

The senate-funding-outcome is not good at parity. Money was given for the project of an unkillable, unpunished aircraft. It turned out a little money, to which they were told that they had become the root of the genitals.

And I have been hearing this article for ten years already. It appears when the question of funding arises, congressmen are led to which "Potemkin village", showing the appearance of a problem. They give more money, but not as much as asked.

In general, I remember the years before this miracle in the photo - so all that the USSR had to do then was to allow people to have a Personal Computer. No, we tried to create a gosset based on the element base from "Tungsram" but with a known result. How can we not help the Hungarian comrades? But there were also developments, BUT it was NOT possible for a Soviet person to have a computer at home. You never know what he invents there, if in the smoking room the docking nodes are creatively muddied "on the fingers", and then they go to their drawing boards? And this prohibition, I think, played an important role in the collapse of the USSR. If in Gos.VCh boys-ten-graders-trainees completely banned the game about cudgels-and-their-bosses with might and main, wasting machine time mercilessly. And if there is a jamb, so the Komsomol leader is told about the imperfection of the computer.

Absolutely the right path goes where reliability is needed. We began to install consumer goods in space - billions of losses fell in.
Eight-, sixteen-, thirty-two-arresters of industrial performance work perfectly in incredible conditions, solving simple problems on which the life of millions depends. And supercomputers next decide another. I remember that on a calculator with several stacked memory cells, you could beat the landing on the moon. And Keldysh from the Queen carried a small pocket slide rule. And on the NL-10, all elements of the flight were perfectly quickly and reliably counted.
Right now, 50 percent of liner crashes due to computers that have turned from auxiliary workers into commanders.
So the world is obliged, including the old, but proven machines. IBM in those days was the best in the world.
