The FYQ-9 System was envisioned with several goals in mind. These included replacing the slow and labor intensive process of manually plotting radar tracks and manually "Telling" the tracks up the chain of command. Decision making was required at each level to insure that only the important tracks reached the NORAD Combat Operations Center in Colorado and that the appropriate action was taken at each intermediate level. Automating the "Telling" function greatly sped up the process and required significantly fewer operations personnel at the remote radar sites. | |||
