GE AN/GPA-37 Course Directing Group
rdfs:comment
The GE AN/GPA-37 Course Directing Group was a USAF Cold War air defense command, control, and coordination system for (ground-controlled interception). During Air Defense Command's "Control Capability Improvement Program" to improve command guidance of manned aircraft, the AN/GPA-37 was "developed by the General Electric Heavy Military Electronic Equipment Department at Syracuse in conjunction with...Rome Air Development Center and the Electronics Research Laboratories of Columbia University." Used to process radar data, the system was to "track a potential enemy aircraft and direct intercepters [sic] into a position from which they can make their automatic firing runs", the system included the:

dbo:abstract
The GE AN/GPA-37 Course Directing Group was a USAF Cold War air defense command, control, and coordination system for (ground-controlled interception). During Air Defense Command's "Control Capability Improvement Program" to improve command guidance of manned aircraft, the AN/GPA-37 was "developed by the General Electric Heavy Military Electronic Equipment Department at Syracuse in conjunction with...Rome Air Development Center and the Electronics Research Laboratories of Columbia University." Used to process radar data, the system was to "track a potential enemy aircraft and direct intercepters [sic] into a position from which they can make their automatic firing runs", the system included the: * AN/GPA-34 Converter Group for processing radar data, * AN/GPA-23 Computing-Tracking Group with analog computer for "automatically providing the solution of the interception problem" (developed at Columbia University), * AN/GKA-1 Flight Control Group for "automatic communications between ground installation and intercepter" (e.g., "verbally to the pilot"), * and for modified systems, AN/GPA-67 equipment** for input of the SAGE TDDL data stream into the Flight Control Group The Secretary of Defense concurred on October 30, 1956, for deployment of the AN/GPA-37 as an interim "pre-SAGE semiautomatic intercept system" to Air Defense Direction Centers (ADDCs) (e.g., in ADC's Zone of the Interior) prior to fielding the SAGE System with AN/FST-2, AN/FSQ-7, & AN/FSQ-8 equipment. The forecast dates for NCCs with both AN/FSG-1 & AN/GPA-37 systems ranged from November 1959 for Fort Lawton (Seattle Air Defense Sector) to October 1960 Gibbsboro (Philadelphia). After the planned Super Combat Centers for 10 underground air defense sites were cancelled in 1960,* the AN/GPA-37 was redeployed as the dispersed Back-Up Interceptor Control (BUIC) prior to development of BUIC II (Burroughs AN/GSA-51 Radar Course Directing Group). BUIC was for degraded SAGE operations when "a DC and the adjacent DC's were all out and responsibility had to be exercised by the division commander through the NORAD control center". By 1959, the military technical school for the AN/GPA-73 was at Keesler Air Force Base.
