The most progressive scientists literally immediately after the invention of the printing process for boards and the transistor realized that these two technologies can be effectively combined, especially since discrete ...

The designers and businessmen of the 50s had 2 main tasks - to organize a full-fledged serial production of transistor machines and move towards miniaturization. The second task of the USSR was formally solved ...

In 1954, the Ministry of Radio Engineering Industry - MRTP was created, the Council for Semiconductors was formed, its role, however, was reduced to consulting and educational ...

Currently, there is a continuous radar field over the territory of Japan and adjacent waters. In addition to numerous stationary radars, the airspace is controlled by AWACS aircraft ...

Yuditsky was one of the first in the USSR to realize that transistors are a stone age, you need to build machines on microcircuits. Naturally, any microcircuits were not suitable for the successor to the K340A, all this was needed ...

In this part of the cycle, American and Japanese-made air defense systems will be considered, adopted by the Self-Defense Forces during the Cold War ...

The K340A in 1963 was not the fastest computer on the planet (although it was second after the CDC 6600). However, he showed really outstanding performance, worthy of the annals ...

Finally, after an extensive preface, we proceed to the most interesting - how exactly did domestic missile defense computers develop in the 1960s – 1970s, what were their achievements and failures, who were behind those and ...

In the near future, an urgent program of modernization of the domestic strategic missile defense system will be completed. One of the elements of the updated defense will be the promising Nudol complex. About its characteristics ...

At the first stage, Japanese radio engineering units were equipped with American radars and communications equipment. In the late 1960s, Japanese-made equipment entered service ...

In the USSR, the hero of our previous article, Antonin Svoboda, was not particularly mentioned for obvious reasons, however, another computer that he managed to build in the Czech Republic not only had a huge impact on ...

Finally, we turn to the most interesting thing - the computer itself, created for the world's first missile defense system. It was, perhaps, one of the most exotic and original computers in the world, while ...

Russia and Tajikistan will create a Joint Regional Air Defense System. It is proposed to expand the existing mechanisms of interaction between the armies of the two countries, which will lead to an increase in defensive capabilities ...

The first Soviet computers were built. At this moment, we went head to head with overseas competitors. We started almost at the same time and, working in much more cramped pre-war conditions ...

We continue to study the history of the first domestic computers used for military purposes, and gradually come to understand why, despite an excellent start, the race of computing power ...

In the second article of our series, we will begin to consider the reasons why we had to turn to the experience of the Warsaw Pact countries to create computers for the missile defense system. And at the same time, let's clarify the arrangement ...

Since May 10, Palestinian armed groups have been shelling Israeli territory. To defend against unguided missiles, the IDF uses existing missile defense systems. While they show ...

In a small series of articles, we will look at the extremely interesting and little-known in our country history of the creation of the first Soviet missile defense systems and their key component - guidance computers ...

The Ukrainian industry is offering a new concept of an anti-aircraft missile system called "Kilchen". It provides a number of interesting solutions, but the possibility of their implementation causes ...

The next launch of a new interceptor missile from the strategic missile defense took place. This event again demonstrated the high potential of missile defense and the prospects for its modernization ...

In the United States, the issue of protection against promising hypersonic weapons is being discussed again. As a measure against such threats, the possibility of modernizing the SM-6 anti-aircraft missile is being considered ....

The US Army begins to receive M-SHORAD anti-aircraft missile and cannon systems. In the near future, one of the divisions will master them and test them in real operation conditions, which will allow launching a series and ...

35 years have passed since the adoption of the "Tor" air defense missile system. Having gone through three waves of deep modernizations since then, air defense systems of this family continue to form the basis of tactical air defense systems ...

Turkey has completed tests of a promising medium-range air defense system Hisar-O. In the coming months, it is planned to launch a series and transfer the first complexes to the troops. It is expected that the adoption of ...
