Meeting the Airspace Threat.

The article reports on the U.S. Air Force Battle Control System (BCS), an early warning computer network with nodes at North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) posts in several states, designed to protect the North American airspace. The system is integrated with Hewlett-Packard DL585 servers and DL360 workstations with Gateway Manager System from Northrop Grumman. It notes that the goal of BSC is to maximize the time in which detection of an aircraft can be made.
