About

The enemy is different but the technology is the same. We dug into our archives and found the U.S. military technology developed during the Cold War in a 1980's Computer Chronicles show is much the same technology now used in the U.S. war against terrorism. This program reviews the military uses of computer technology. Shot on location at various research centers around the country. Featured are the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Advanced Decision Systems in Mountain View, California. Demonstrations include the Pilot's Assistant and the Battlefield Commander's Assistant. Also flight and battle simulators from Singer Link. Guests include Raj Reddy, Director of the Robotics Institute at CMU. Originally broadcast in 1986.
