Supercomputer supports Gotcha radar
Distinguished visitors dedicate Desch, an SGI Altix ICE 8200 supercomputer, during a ribbon cutting ceremony August 31 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The new supercomputer is named after Joseph Desch, a Dayton, Ohio engineer who developed computing machines during World War II to decipher German Enigma-coded communications. It will be used to translate real-time synthetic aperture radar data from the Gotcha radar system being developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory into high-resolution 3D images. Pictured from left to right are Dr. David Jerome, director of the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate; Deborah Desch Anderson, daughter of Joseph Desch; Dr. Michael Kuliasha, AFRL chief technologist; Jim Brinker, vice president of SGI Federal Service.
