Installation, Maintenance, Operation, and Development Support for a Prototype Seismic Data Center. Phase 1

摘要

This report summarizes the phase I work performed to establish a Center for Seismic Studies for DARPA. The objectives during this phase were to obtain a suitable facility, modify it to accommodate people, computers systems, magnetic tape storage, a film library, and to provide offices, conference rooms, a demonstration room, and technical libraries for visitors and staff. Secure areas were also needed for processing and storing classified data. The site selected for the Center was Rosslyn, Virginia, in close proximity to the headquarters of DARPA. Most of the computer equipment came from Lincoln Lab. A satellite antenna was procured to receive real-time data from the Regional Seismic Test Network (RSTN) stations. At the completion of the installation, a major demonstration of the Center's capabilities was given to numerous U.S. and foreign visitors. During the final five months of the contract real-time data from the RSTN, Seismic Research Observatories (SRO), Global Digital Seismic Network (GDSN), World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and other sources were being routinely collected and stored in the Center's database.
