65:. A magnetic tape recorder (AN/FSH-6) was triggered by the message leader and timestamped the message to within a millisecond. This equipment was called AN/FRA-44 recorder/analyses system. The circular array permitted a direction of arrival to be measured. Signal timing from multiple receiver sites allowed the range and an approximation of the transmitter position to be determined. Computers used were designated "AN/GYK-3". 60:
The United States setup up a program to do direction finding on very short bursts of radio signal, using retrospective direction finding. The idea was to record the transmissions from multiple antennas, at multiple sites, and then triangulate by comparing the recordings. Circular antenna arrays were

The magnetic tape recorder, AN/FSH-6 used half inch magnetic tape. The recorder was manufactured by S Himmelstein and Company of Illinois. It recorded up to 7 channels. The tape was wrapped around a spinning headwheel, with recorded diagonal stripes 4 or 8 inches long. The headwheel could have its

In November, 1960 Soviet Union submarines started using a new communications mode using burst communications, where radio teletype messages were sent in bursts under one second long. Monitoring stations could no longer intercept USSR submarine communications. By the end of 1960 however noises that

There were two input-output buses. These could attach up to 10 input-output modules. Each module could support 64 attachments. Although there were multiple processor modules, there was inadequate memory protection, and memory interlock protection had to be ensured in software. Memory access was

sounded like bursts of static were determined to be USSR radio transmissions. Although a signal could be detected, the transmission time was too short for current radio location systems to work. These required an operator to steer an antenna to find the direction to the transmission.

The AN/GYK-3 computer was a polymorphic multiprocessor system. It was the first multiprocessor, and was designed to operate even if some modules had failed. It had multiple processor (1-4), memory (1-16) and input modules. The computer was supplied by

The R-1125/FLR was later upgraded to R-1230/FLR by adding a cooling fan. This was a broadband high-frequency receiver with input from 2 to 32 MHz and 60 kHz bandwidth output. It was a triple conversion superheterodyne.
