In many cases, the team would make unstructured strategic decisions — such as what markets to compete in, what new production technologies to invest in, and what return on investment to require ; tactical decisions like whether to build a prototype, whether to concept-test, whether to test-market, and how much to produce ; and structured operational decisions like production scheduling, inventory purchases, and media flightings.

The top operational speed of is also faster than the top speed of any Formula One car and MotoGp prototype.

In the UK, the Manchester University Transistor Computer demonstrated a working prototype in 1953 which incorporated transistors before TRADIC was operational, although that was not a fully transistorized computer because it used vacuum tubes to generate the clock signal.

The National Intelligence Estimate ( NIE ) 11-10-57, issued in December 1957, predicted that the Soviets would " probably have a first operational capability with up to 10 prototype ICBMs " at " some time during the period from mid-1958 to mid-1959.

With a number of operational prototype Optacons available, an effort was made to get them in daily use by blind people in the community.

However, before RAT-C reached initial operational status in 1960 aboard the large US Navy destroyer-leader Norfolk, its name was changed to the present ASROC.

It was poor operational procedures and sloppy operator behaviour that allowed the GC & CS cryptanalysts to find ways to read them.

Commander Alastair Denniston, was operational head of GC & CS from its formation from the Admiralty's Room 40 ( NID25 ) and the War Office's MI1b in 1919, until 1942.

The classic interpretation of blitzkrieg is that of German tactical and operational methodology in the first half of the Second World War that was often hailed as a new method of warfare.

Some historians were prepared to go even further, claiming that blitzkrieg was not merely an operational doctrine of the German armed forces but a strategic concept on which the leadership of the Third Reich based its strategic and economic planning.

In hindsight — and with some help from Liddell Hart — this torrent of action was squeezed into something it never was: an operational design.

The transformation from the stalemate of the First World War into tremendous initial operational and strategic success in the Second, was partly the employment of a relatively small number of mechanised divisions, most importantly the Panzer divisions, and the support of an exceptionally powerful air force.

Another misconception, enhanced by Guderian's own account, that he was the sole creator of German tactical and operational methodology is also misleading.
