DESCRIPTION:Join the Pikes Peak LMAG for a Computer History Presentation\n\
 nUnivac Signal Processing & NEXRAD\n\nDavid Bondurant & Les Nelson\, Forme
 r Univac Signal Processing Engineers\n\nWe have become accustomed to seein
 g weather maps nightly plotting future violent weather in advance and we r
 eceive severe thunderstorm\, flash flood\, hurricane\, tornado warnings on
  our phones and TV stations. Ever wonder how the NexRAD doppler radar syst
 em was developed?\n\nIn July\, 3 former Sperry Univac engineers had a reun
 ion in Excelsior\, Minnesota to reminisce about the development of signal 
 processing at Univac over 50-years ago and the development of the Next Gen
 eration Radar System (NEXRAD) by a joint program office of the National We
 ather Service\, Federal Aviation Administration\, and US Air Force Weather
  service starting in 1979. This is the story of Univac involvement with FA
 A and Joint Program Office and the development of a Programmable Signal Pr
 ocessor at Unisys/Paramax Systems leading to the NEXRAD Radar Data Acquisi
 tion (RDA) System\, a system which has been in the field at 159 sites in t
 he US and military bases overseas for more than 34-years.\n\nSpeaker(s): D
