The Navy selected Nortronics' Datico automatic electronic evaluation system for its Polaris Fleet Ballistic Missile System. Datico is based on the concept developed some three years ago under company sponsorship and since employed by the Air Force and Army. Delivery of the first Navy unit was made six months from the date of go-ahead. For Polaris, Datico is used to monitor, checkout and perform the launch countdown sequence for each of the sixteen missiles aboard the submarines. It is used on the submarines, the submarine tenders, at the Naval Weapons Annex and on factory assembly lines.
The Datico work was being conducted at Anaheim, California by Nortronics Systems Support Department.
