Cold War Computing - The SAGE System

SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment) system was designed and built in 1950 to defend against the threat of a Soviet bomber attack the continental United States. The system has been strongly influenced by the design of the Whirlwind II computer with the flu (which was never completed). IBM designed and built the computer AN/FSQ-7 in the heart of the SAGE program, with companies like Western Electric (which resulted in your defense) were the miter Corporation and System Development Corporationeven more entrepreneurs in the sector for the project. There have been more than twenty SAGE plants in North America is the connection between the hundreds of radar stations, air force wings of fighters and anti-missile defense sites in the first large-scale computer communications network. The SAGE system was decentralized, and it would be a device to operate, even if other sites were to continue with disabilities. As the threat of a Soviet attack bombers moved long-range nuclear missles in 1960, the SAGE system was lessof strategic importance. But it remains part of system operation in the early 1980s. This film explains the threats to national security during the 1950s and '60s that the sage was built to defend, show the SAGE computer and network operation and simulates how Sage would react to an attack against the United States.
