Minuteman I Guidance Computer
The Minuteman I Guidance Computer was an on-board computer that controlled missile guidance. This system differed from previous missile guidance computers that were operated on the ground and controlled the missile by radio.
The miniaturization of computer components that allowed the guidance computer to be housed on the missile itself was an early example of a trend that would ultimately result in the personal computer being made available to the consumer market. This marks another advance in computer history made in the execution of government programs.
