The following is a newly restored film on Computer History (1967), -and the PHOTO INTELLIGENCE, PHOTO INTERPRETER System. An excellent U.S. Navy Training Film, in full color, explains the Photo Interpretation System, which used the Navy’s AN/UYK-1 and AN/USQ-20 Computers, and peripheral devices. Great footage of the SCV (“Stereometric Comparison Viewer”), Digital Plotter, and Teletypewriter used in Navy’s Photo Intelligence systems. Original film from National Archives has been newly restored for color clarity and sharpness. Excellent example of Naval Computing Technology of the mid 1960’s.
The Photo Interpretation (“PI”) system was part of the Computerized Integrated Operational Intelligence System (“IOIS”). The Univac AN/USQ-20 computer was part of the Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) network. Original film courtesy of the U.S. National Archives. Uploaded by the Computer History Archives Project (CHAP). We hope you enjoy this great piece of history!

(from Wikipedia) The AN/USQ-20, or Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS), was designed as a more reliable replacement for the Seymour Cray-designed AN/USQ-17 with the same instruction set. The first batch of 17 computers were delivered to the Navy starting in early 1961. A version of the AN/USQ-20 for use by the other military services and NASA was designated the UNIVAC 1206. Another version, designated the G-40, replaced the vacuum tube UNIVAC 1104 in the BOMARC Missile Program. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/USQ-20
