Clare Carlson, senior vice president and group president, left, and Dr. Nick Yaru, senior vice president, proudly display the banner honoring Ground Systems Group's 25 years in Fullerton. Today's Open House honors thepeople and the programs who have given Ground Systems Group A Proud Past and A Bright Future. |
| Ground Systems Group in 1957 was nothing more than a barren stretch of hills, awaiting groundbreaking. The growth of GSG began in early 1957 when Ground Systems Lab oratory, then located in Culver City, was elevated to Division status and moved to Fullerton. In early 1958, Ground Systems was elevated to the Group status, and work on the permanent site was started. |  |
   
Hughes equipment getting presidential approval - President Lyndon Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, below, boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise aircraft carrier in 1967 and received a demonstration of a GSG produced AN/SYA-1 Navy Tactical Data System (NTDS) console. The AN/SYA-1 was the forerunner of the AN/UYA-4 and AN/UYQ-21 consoles, both of which are still under production at GSG. NTDS consoles were one of the first major programs for GSG, beginning in the late 1950s, and have been one of the longest continuing programs for the entire company. |
Frescan
or
Frequency
Scanning
Radar
-
A
major
product that
started
Ground Systems
Group
off
in
the
right
direction
was Fres
can
(also known
as
Frescanar},
the first Frequency
Scanning Radar.
It
was
the
first
completely
integrated
electronic
system
for
accumulating
three-dimensional data
on all airborne
targets.
Frescan
was
first
conceived at
Hughes Aircraft
Company
in 1948.
By
1950,
the
company
was
demonstrating
that
experimental
antennas designed
for
the
Frescan
technique could
work.
The
first
complete
system
was
successfully
tested
in
1953,
left. The
first
system,
the
shipboard
AN/SPS-26,
was
delivered and
installed in
1957.
Today,
technology
derived
from
that
first
system
is
used
in a
wide
variety
of
GSG·
radars,
ranging
from
the
present
shipboard version
called
AN/SPS-52C
to the
land-based
Hughes Air
Defense
Radar
(HADA)
to
the
advanced
AN/TPQ-36
and
AN/TPQ-
37
Firefinder
weapon
locating
radars.
Land-based application of new Frescan radar - In the late 1950s, the revolutionary Frescan radar was first put into actual use as the AN/SPS-26 shipboard antenna. Soon after, however, the same technology was used in the AN/MPS-23 antenna, below, which was used as the detection radar for the AN/MSG-4 Missile Monitor system. The first Frescan AN/SPS-26 antenna was de livered and installed aboard a ship in 1957.
Missile Monitor among first GSG products in the field - Missile Monitor, above, also called AN/MSG-4, was one of the first GSG programs to be put into military operation when it was tested in Colorado by the U.S. Army in 1960 and soon after deployed in Europe. Missile Monitor was a forerunner of today's modern ADGE systems by automating the detection and tracking of air borne targets, and forwarding that information to air defense missile batteries. Missile Monitor was the first system in the world to eliminate the grease pencil plotting and voice-telling methods of providing information to defense units. Development of the system was initiated at Ground Systems when it was still a laboratory status and located in Culver City in the mid-1950s.

First Air Defense Ground Environment (ADGE) program - GSG's long and celebrated line of ADGE programs began with the Japanese BADGE program, right, in the early 1960s. The system used in BADGE was known as Tactical Air Weapons Control System (TAWCS), with development beginning in the late 1950s. GSG has now produced more than 20 ADGE programs around the world.
"Sure, it's got muscles, but can it type?" - No, although MOBOT could pour water from a pitcher into a glass and not spill a drop. Developed in the 1950s by Hughes Aircraft Company in Culver City, MOBOT, below, was designed to substitute for hu mans in dangerous places, such as radioactive areas. It had double-jointed shoulders, elbows and wrists, soft padded hands pro viding a light touch and TV camera eyes to allow a human opera tor to control it from a safe distance. Each arm could lift "150 pounds . Versions were designed for underseas work and on a tracked vehicle. MOBOT was part of GSG's product line.

that were deployed in Europe NATO countries beginning in the late 1950s. Vest Pocket was also used in GSG's Missile Monitor system, which utilized Hughes' Frescanar radar.
three surface-to-air missiles. Among other advanced features, Frescan was the first ship board radar to electronically compensate for the pitch and roll of the ship, eliminating the requirement for heavy mechanical stabilizing equipment.
Big ears pointed to the sky - GSG produced the Mark 1B satellite communications dish antennas, above. These dishes were deployed around the world at ground stations. These an tennas allowed controllers in the United States to track, control and communicate with satellites orbiting the earth. The antennas were produced in the 1960s and are still used today.

The Systems
Conference
Center for
demonstrations
in
1982
- Housed in the basement of Building 618, the Center, right, demonstrates the latest technological advances. In a special session, a standard HMD-22 radar display console identical to those used in the U.S. Joint Surveillance System was set up to operate in front of a HDP-4000 large screen display.
Checking to be sure the test is right - Technicians at GSG's low frequency shock and vibration laboratory run a test on military equipment in 1960. The lab, which still operates, was the largest civilian laboratory of its type in the world. The lab could simulate any vehicular or shipboard motion in order to test equipment.
The

GSG technology protecting Europe
-
Hughes Aircraft Company led an international
team to develop NADGE, above, the NATO Air Defense Ground Environment system
to protect much of Europe. Begun in the mid-1960s, NADGE
is
a shared
system that coordinates
air defense radars and command centers through nearly all the NATO countries. GSG is still active with NADGE today, through the AEGIS program which integrates the airborne E-3A radar information with the existing ground-based NADGE centers.
One
of
the world's
most
advanced
radars
-
The
AN/TPQ-37 Weapon Locating Radar, below, the larger of the two GSG Fire
finder
radars,
pinpoints
enemy artillery and
mortar
projectiles
in
flight and back plots their paths to determine the
locations
of
the
originating
weapons.
Firefinders do this
in a matter
of seconds. Development of the
Firefinder radars began in the early
1970s,
and GSG today has orders for more than
200 of the systems.
Latest offspring of Frescan radar - The Hughes Air Defense Radar (HADR), below, is a new generation long-range, three dimensional radar using some technology introduced in the mid- 1950s with the Frescan radar. Improvements in HADR, however, make it one of the most advanced radars available in the world today. It is capable of performing all civilian air traffic control functions as well as military air defense functions.

Outfitting a military classroom - GSG has become a leader in the development of training equipment used for military purposes. Instead of training Firefinder radar operators in the battlefield, where inexperienced troops and equipment are vulnerable, the Army uses
computer-operated classroom trainers, or simulators, above, to properly train troops. A 1980s product of GSG's Engineering Services and Support Division, the Firefinder Trainer does a better and cheaper job of training operators than using the actual equipment.
Giving the U.S. and Canada better air defense - The Joint Surveillance System, above, jointly uses civilian airport radars and military radars to provide detection of air invaders for the United States and Canada. This air defense ground environment (ADGE) project is being developed by Systems Division and will be fully operational by the mid-1980s.
"OK little box, tell me where I am" -And it will. The Position Location Reporting System (PLRS), above, developed and produced by GSG's Communications and Radar Division, uses an intricate computerized communications system to tell battlefield soldiers and mobile units where they and others are located. PLRS is a GSG product of the 1970s and 1980s.
Jam-free, secure communications at the push of a button - A U.S. Air Force technician operates a Hughes-built Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) Class 1 terminal. Called a HIT (Hughes Improved Terminal), the terminal uses time division and spread spectrum techniques to provide voice and digital communications that is difficult for an enemy to stop.
Effective front-line battlefield communications - Defenders, such as this surface-to-air missile Redeye team, above, will receive battle information through terminals tied into the PLRS/JTIDS Hybrid system. That system uses PLRS and JTIDS to provide a complete and reliable battlefield communications method. It is a GSG product of the 1980s.

GSG's SLQ/17 electronic countermeasures system, left, fools attacking enemy missiles into believing a ship is at a location where it really isn't. Electronically, the system hides the real ship and makes a "ghost" ship miles away. The missile is fooled and attacks the false "ghost" ship. Produced by Communications and Radar Division, the program began in 1970.
Information at the touch of a finger - Display consoles for GSG's new product line, Command and Control Information Systems (CCIS), below, will provide military commanders with up-to date information on the availability of resources such as fighter aircraft or warehoused ammunition. The HMD-8000 display con soles will provide information in seven colors and will operate through the use of conventional keyboards and new touch-screen techniques. GSG's Systems Division received the world's first advanced system production contract from Norway and Denmark in late 1981.

Smiles behind NATO's new air defense shield - All these people are smiling, left, because they are part of GSG's NATO Airborne Early Warning Ground Integration System (AEGIS) test team. In late 1981, this team success fully processed radar information received from an early warning E-3A aircraft flying over the Pacific Ocean and put that information on radar screens in the basement of Building 618. It was the first demonstration of NATO's program to tie in its E-3A aircraft to existing equipment stationed in Europe. The program is expected to be fully operational by the mid 1980s.
A file cabinet forest to house the contracts - Division 10 secretary Debra Archuleta, left, sifts through the mass of cabinets, locks and drawers to find the one document she is looking for. The hundreds of projects awarded to GSG during the past 25 years have re quired hundreds of cabinet drawers just to store the bulky contracts. And all must be well organized in order to be found quickly, should a question come up about a specific project or contract.
