Systematics General: WWMCCS Workstation for DOD

Systematics General
Fairfax, VA
1981

Designed a WWMCCS graphics workstation to meet Navy and Air Force RFP requirements. The live-test system was praised and recommended by the USAF evaluation team.

Utilized new Intel hardware to provide a multi-tasking system comprised of a CPM/86 system for high-speed number crunching and a MPM/80 system for running off-the-shelf applications. Wrote a very high speed data encryption algorithm in 8086 assembly language for secure battlefield image transmission. This was the first commercial application of the 8087 math co-processor and of the MPM/80 operating system.

This system lost the RFP on price alone and it was reported that the US Navy and the USAF refused to buy off the awarded contract due to their preference for this system.
