portable

field artillery digital automatic computer, aka fadac, first prototype: 1959.

hm, somehow i have seen this picture before ... somewhere.

basic considerations: 6. Minimum physical size, weight, and power consumption (not to exceed 200 lb in weight and 500 w in power.)

The FADAC is a solid-state electronic digital computer. It is compact, portable, and rugged. It is approximately 24 x 14 x 34 inches in size and weighs about 200 pounds ... It should be capable of operating under field conditions, without major overhaul, for at least 2,500 hours. The solid-state components are expected to operate for at least 10,000 hours. (electronic computers within the ordnance corps)
