The Navy Tactical Data System (NTDS) was an early transistorized military fire control computer. Computer pioneer Seymour Cray designed the machine in 1957 while at Remington Rand Univac, just prior to joining Control Data Corporation. This armored computer was extremely reliable in hazardous environments and could control battleship radar and weapons systems in real-time.
