The Microelectronic Radar Intercept Calculator

The Microelectronic Radar Intercept Calculator (RIC) provides a ground controlled intercept capability when used with an air search radar. Automatic detection and course prediction provide numeric and PPI outputs for intercept problem solution. The PPI is a real time digital display. Special purpose serial computation loops use incremental techniques for track calculation. MOS-shift registers provide dynamic storage for five problems. Integrated circuits and an effective man-machine tradeoff result in a small (38 lb) tactical equipment.
