Software validation of the Titan IIIC Digital Flight Control System utilizing a hybrid computer

In April 1966 work was initiated by Martin Marietta Corporation (MMC), Denver Division, to extend the role of an airborne computer to include flight controls as well as guidance and navigation computations. This project is one of several significant improvements for the Titan IIIC space booster which was funded by the Space and Missile Systems Organization of the Air Force. The new Digital Flight Control System (DFCS) has been successfully tested in four (4) Titan IIIC missions.
