A comprehensive study of Navy tactical computer systems and their operating environments, with practical insights for future designs.

This publication summarizes a MIT-led investigation into how Navy tactical computers are used today and what those uses mean for the next generation of operating systems. It describes major executives, hardware-software interfaces, and the evolving architecture needed to support long‑term, modular systems in demanding military contexts. The report also outlines the process, scope, and limitations of the study, including collaboration with Navy labs and the MIT Sloan Center for Information Systems Research.

What you will experience

An overview of current Navy tactical applications, their environments, and the executives that drive them.
A look at design choices and the implications for a family of operating systems lasting twenty years.
Examples of real systems and projects, such as MIFASS, TESE, TWAES, ATEX, and IFDS, to illustrate different approaches.
Discussion of data management, security, and system flexibility in military settings.

Ideal for readers of military technology history, systems engineering professionals, and anyone interested in how large-scale tactical computing evolves over time.
