The AN/UYK-7 was the standard 32-bit computer of the United States Navy for surface ship and submarine platforms, starting in 1970. [1] [2] It was used in the Navy's NTDS [2] & Aegis combat systems and U.S. Coast Guard, [3] and the navies of U.S. allies. [4] It was also used by the U.S. Army. [5]
Built by UNIVAC, it used integrated circuits, had 18-bit addressing and could support multiple CPUs and I/O controllers. Three CPUs and two I/O controllers were a common configuration. Its multiprocessor architecture was based upon the UNIVAC 1108. [4] An airborne version, the UNIVAC 1832, was also produced.
In the mid-1980s, the UYK-7 was replaced by the AN/UYK-43 which shared the same instruction set. [1] Retired systems are being cannibalized for repair parts to support systems still in use by U.S. and non-U.S. forces. [6]
