The basic layout of the MOBIDIC system was also used for the AN / ASD-1 computer used on the Boeing RC-135 ELINT aircraft, the PARADE and TIDEWATER projects, and its basic circuitry was used extensively in the development of the IBM 7090 for the BMEWS systems.

The United States Air Force Ballistic Missile Early Warning System ( BMEWS ) was the first operational ballistic missile detection radar.

BMEWS was the fourth radar warning system built during the decade of the 1950s in response to the Cold War with the former Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union developed a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System ( FOBS ) in part to counteract the network of sensors covering the northern hemisphere, including BMEWS, which was only able to point in a fixed direction.

BMEWS 3, located in RAF Fylingdales, was upgraded by Raytheon / Cossor AeroSpace and Control Data Corporation at a cost of US $ 100M.

In 1961, a Ballistic Missile Early Warning System ( BMEWS ) radar was constructed at " J-Site ," northeast of main base.

Since the incoming missile warning from RAF Fylingdales BMEWS was only four minutes before impact this ensured if the country came under attack, the bombers would be scrambled and able to retaliate.

The base was also used during the early 1960s as a BMEWS early warning radar site, as well as serving as a missile tracking site on the U. S. Air Force Eastern Test Range.

The British government was not the main beneficiary of BMEWS, given that it would only receive what Solly Zuckerman described in 1960 as " no more than 5 minutes warning time " of an attack.

In 1959, a strip of wilderness at Clear was appropriated to become Site II of the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System ( BMEWS ).

This complements the coverage provided by the BMEWS system in red.

Coverage of BMEWS is shown in red, complementing the coverage provided by the PAVE PAWS system in blue.

A prototype of BMEWS, located in Trinidad, began providing surveillance and tracking of ballistic missiles by 1958, and went operational on February 4, 1959, to gather data on missiles fired at the Atlantic Missile Range, as well as satellites and meteors.

Submarine-launched ballistic missiles also avoided detection by BMEWS, developing into a credible threat in the 1970s.

While the radar station remains a British asset operated and commanded by the Royal Air Force, it also forms one of three stations in the United States BMEWS network ( the United States also funds the cost of the radar units ).

From the early 1960s, initial detection of attack would be provided primarily by the RAF BMEWS station at Fylingdales in North Yorkshire.

Along with the PAVE PAWS radar sites at Cape Cod Air Force Station on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Beale Air Force Base, California and the PARCS radar at Cavalier AFS, North Dakota, the BMEWS sites provide continual ground-based missile warning for the United States and Canada, with satellite surveillance as a secondary role.

BMEWS intelligence is simultaneously flashed to NORAD ( North American Air Defense Command ) in Colorado Springs, Colorado, for interpretation ; ;

" The base hosts the 12th Space Warning Squadron ( 12 SWS ) which operates a Ballistic Missile Early Warning System ( BMEWS ) designed to detect and track ICBMs launched against North America.

The appearance of ballistic missiles to carry nuclear warheads spurred a second wave of defense efforts — the construction of the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System ( BMEWS ) and a survivable new command center for the North American Air Defense Command deep under Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado.

One of the four component radars for the BMEWS is based at RAF Fylingdales in North Yorkshire.

The UK has relied on the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System ( BMEWS ) and, in later years, Defense Support Program ( DSP ) satellites for warning of a nuclear attack.

Among other accomplishments, it cited development of medium-and long-range bombers ( including the B-52s put into service during the 1950s ) and ICBMs ; installation of a continental defense system the Distant Early Warning Line ( DEW ) Line, the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System ( BMEWS ), and Nike surface-to-air missile systems ; production of several nuclear submarines, beginning with the Nautilus in 1954, and Forrestal-type carriers ; and creation of the Defense Communications Agency.

Because the advent of ICBMs created another attack scenario that the DEW Line could not defend against, in 1958 the US Government authorized construction of the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System ( BMEWS ), at a reported cost of $ 28 billion.

* The US Air Force retired its last 7090s in service from the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (" BMEWS ") in the 1980s after almost 30 years of use.

Scheduled to become a PAVE PAWS site from being a BMEWS site in 2001.

Information received from the BMEWS radars is forwarded to the JFCC SPACE Missile Warning Center at Cheyenne Mountain Air Station, Colorado, where it is coordinated with data from other sensors, including other PAVE PAWS sites.

Additionally, the FOBS could be launched southward, overflying most of the globe and then approaching the U. S. from the south, where it would be invisible to BMEWS.

The chain starts at BMEWS ( Ballistic Missile Early Warning System ) in Thule, Greenland.

The Soviet Air Force then destroys a BMEWS station in RAF Fylingdales, England and another at Beale Air Force Base in California.

* PAVE PAWS-The Phased-Array Warning System which replaced the three BMEWS radars.

Air Force technicians work at tracking monitors in the Tactical Operations Room on the Thule BMEWS.

The full BMEWS radar network became operational in the early 1960s.

Often it is recognized that all the details of the pattern may not be essential to the outcome but, because the pattern was empirically determined and not developed through theoretical understanding, one is never quite certain which behavior elements are effective, and the whole pattern becomes ritualized.

Being somewhat delicate in health, at the age of sixteen he was sent to Southern Europe, for which he at once developed a passion, so that he spent nearly all of the following ten years abroad, at first in Italy, then in Greece, Egypt, Asia Minor, and Palestine.

The portrait that had developed, fragmentarily but consistently, was the portrait of a man to whom serious thinking is alien enough that the making of a decision inhibits, when it does not forestall, any ability to review the decision in the light of new evidence.

A prototype which fulfills the requirements was developed and thoroughly tested.

While there are now allegations of the withholding of `` favorable evidence developed at the hearing '' and a denial of a `` full and fair hearing '', no such claim was made by petitioner at any stage of the administrative process.

Except for a rich friendship with the painter, Chauncey Ryder who gave him the only professional instruction he ever had -- and this was limited to a few lessons, though the two artists often went on painting trips together -- Roy developed his art by himself.

Together they also developed a new form of voltaic cell in which the wooden trough was replaced by one of copper, thereby producing stronger currents.

Of interest is a recent announcement by Du Pont's Polychemicals Dept. of a new methyl methacrylate monomer designated as Monocite H 100, which was developed specifically for production of cast acrylic sheets for the sign and lighting industry.

The same system, with minor modifications, was developed in Ruanda-Urundi under Belgian administration.

An objective scale was developed for rating school neighborhoods from these data.

Final ratings were made on the basis of a point system which was developed after studying the distributions of actual behaviors recorded and assigning weight values to each type of behavior that was deviant from the discovered norms.

Recently, for example, a paranoid woman's large-scale philosophizing, in the session, about the intrusive curiosity which has become, in her opinion, a deplorable characteristic of mid-twentieth-century human culture, developed itself, before the end of the session, into a suspicion that I was surreptitiously peeking at her partially exposed breast, as indeed I was.

Greek civilization was swirling toward its great revolution, in which the developed qualities of the Hellenic outlook were suddenly to break forth.

Hardy's two productive decades were separated by forty years, yet between them he developed only in that he became more steadily himself -- it was a narrowing, not an expanding process.

What Parker and his contemporaries -- Gillespie, Davis, Monk, Roach ( Tristano is an anomaly ), etc. -- did was to absorb the musical ornamentation of the older jazz into the basic structure, of which it then became an integral part, and with which it then developed.

the verse of Beowulf or of The Iliad and The Odyssey was not easy to create but was not impossible for poets who had developed their talents perforce in earning a livelihood.
