Vintage Computer Automation: ARMY / DoD: “Electronic Culture”

“Vintage Automation: Excerpt from Army film “The Electronic Culture” (circa 1991). In the mid-1980’s, the DOD embarked on a program to increase computer automation and electronic data sharing to reduce paperwork, increase efficiencies and save money. This film explains the CALS (Computer-Aided Logistics Supply) system. It is an interesting look at the computer technologies of the mid 1980’s to early 1990’s, showing many vintage devices such as Zenith Data Systems, Commodore Amiga 2000, AT&T disk systems, optical storage, networking and much more. Good quality color film. The Army AH-64 helicopter maintenance and repair is one of the topics in the opening sequence.”
