Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the selection process employed to choose a single Computer Family Architecture (CFA) to be used in a new Military Computer Family (MCF) intended for use in Army and Navy Systems. A joint Army/Navy Selection Committee studied the suitability of a number of architectures, and intensively evaluated three "final candidate" architectures, before selecting one, the PDP-11, for use with the MCF.
