IBM and MIT played an important role in the design and development of SAGE. Some initial work on real-time computer systems had been done at Massachusetts Institute of Technology on a project for the US Navy. This project was concerned with building an aircraft flight simulator computer for training bombing crews, and it led to the development of the Whirlwind digital computer. This computer was originally intended to be an analog machine, but instead it became the Whirlwind digital computer, and it was used for experimental development of military combat information systems.
Whirlwind was the first real-time computer, and George Valley and Jay Forrester wrote a proposal to employ Whirlwind for air defence. This led to the Cape Cod system, which demonstrated the feasibility of an air defence system covering New England. Following its successful deployment in 1953, work on the design and development of SAGE (Fig. 19.8) commenced.
