The Honeywell 17S0A GVSC
Flight Computer (GFC), developed
for the Air Force's Phillips Lab,
achieved its primary goal:
develop a low-cost, low-risk computer
for onboard data processing
while demonstrating a secondary
goal of transitioning new
technologies to flight in a short
period of time. The 1750A CPU
utilizes the Honeywell RH-1750
Generic VHSIC Spaceborne Computer
(GVSC) chipset. The RH-1750 was
developed by Honeywell under an
Air Force contract and is
manufactured using Honeywell's
Radiation Insensitive CMOS
(RICMOS)TM III process.
