Components of the Univac 1830, CP-823/U airborne computer used in the engineering prototype computing system of the P-3 maritime patrol ASW aircraft system automation project called A-New. The machine used the NTDS CP-642 unit computer 30-bit architecture but was brought down in size and weight with first generation integrated circuit technology. From left, four airborne input/output units, ground input/output unit, memory unit, processor unit, airborne power supply, and control console. This is the prototype Univac 1830, CP-823U computer at its end state. After years of development with the cooperation of Univac and navy civilian and military personnel, four hundred ninety-nine production units, designated CP-901 were delivered to the Navy.
