The proliferation of increasingly sophisticated enemy military forces in the past decade, and the ability to quickly apply those forces anywhere in the world, has stressed the importance of a demonstrated deterrent capability. This capability should combine rapid reaction with the ability to apply the appropriate force at the appropriate place. Strategic and tactical power, global mobility and precise, well-ordered strike capability are necessary parts of the required capability. Communication and accurate time-space coordination will be required capabilities. The ability to strike at night and in adverse weather and to successfully redirect to a higher priority target, all in a well-coordinated manner, will help to offset the superiority of enemy aircraft numbers. The Integrated Flight Trajectory Control (IFTC) program has been concerned with solving these problems. The solution involves the development of a system which adds flight management capabilities through the use of digital computers to integrate guidance and control with control and display, navigation, weapon delivery, data-link systems and other on-board sensors. Following system development, the concept was demonstrated by realtime, man-in-the-loop simulation in the LSI Hybrid Computing Facility.
