The authors examine the military and space communities' involvement in computer development - specifically computer history from a military/space viewpoint, modern military computers, and future trends. Their description of the pre-1940s show that the paramount difficulties were nontechnical, primitive equipment notwithstanding. Their treatment of work in the World War II era focuses on key relationships and viewpoints among the leaders in the field. They note that after the war, languages emerged as a major concern, and they also explore the impact of the space program on perceptions of computer abilities and reliability. Finally, the authors outline the improvements in data communication technologyof the last decade, looking in detail at the development of modern military and space computersand discussing modern computers in terms of their major advantages for military and space systems.
