CDC 1604

During 1969 , Fleet Operations Control Center, Pacific (FOCCPAC at Kunia)
on Oahu in Hawaii launched an Automated Control Environment (ACE) ...

• The third version of the PLATO computer-based educational system was implemented on a CDC-1604.
• The PLATO project was assumed by the Control Data Corporation (CDC), who built the machines with which PLATO operated at the University. CDC President William Norris planned to make PLATO a force in the computer world; the last production PLATO system was shut down in 2006 (coincidentally, just a month after Bill Norris died), yet it established key on-line concepts: forums, message boards, online testing, e-mail, chat rooms, picture languages, instant messaging, remote screen sharing, and multi-player games.

JOVIAL was used as the CDC 1604's main programming language while octal was used to program shared services supported by the CDC 160A. NAVCOSSACT based at the Washington Navy Yard provided systems and training support.

History (Keyhole, Inc.)

Google Earth was originally developed by Keyhole, Inc., a Mountain View-based company founded in 2001.

Keyhole, after being spun off from Intrinsic Graphics, received funding from the Central Intelligence Agency's venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel^[6] 

and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency,^[7] in addition to smaller capital from Nvidia and Sony.^[8] 

Keyhole developed the program under the name Keyhole EarthViewer, and sold the product for uses in fields such as real estate, urban planning, defense, and intelligence. Google acquired the company in 2004,^[9] driving public interest in geospatial technologies and applications.^[10][11] 

At exactly the same time that Google was trying to improve the NSA's internal search capabilities, the company was in negotiations with two other intelligence agencies: the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), a close cousin of the NSA that primarily deals with geospatial/satellite intel for both combat and civilian operations.

These negotiations had to do with Google's purchase of Keyhole, a tiny tech startup that developed 3-D mapping technology. The company's main product was an application called EarthViewer, which allowed users to fly and move around a virtual globe as if they were in a video game. Google purchased Keyhole in 2004 for an undisclosed sum, and folded its technology into what later became known as Google Earth.

At the time, Google's acquisition of Keyhole raised serious privacy concerns. The reason was simple: In 2003, just a year before Google bought Keyhole, the company was saved from bankruptcy by In-Q-Tel, a venture capital fund run by the CIA on behalf of the military and intelligence community. Until the CIA came along, Keyhole was on the brink of bankruptcy and was reduced to giving its software away for free to CNN in exchange for promotion and hawking it at real estate conventions.

Although the exact amount that In-Q-Tel invested into Keyhole is classified. What we do know is that the bulk of the funds didn't come from the CIA's intelligence budget — as they normally do with In-Q-Tel — but from the NGA, which provided the money on behalf of the entire "Intelligence Community." As a result, equity in Keyhole was held by two major intelligence agencies.

Keyhole's new investors did not sit on the sidelines, but aggressively involved themselves in the operation and evolution of the business. This was no secret. The CIA publicly discussed its involvement, writing on its promotional materials that the agency "worked closely with other Intelligence Community organizations to tailor Keyhole’s systems to meet their needs."

And they didn't waste any time: Just a few weeks after In-Q-Tel invested in Keyhole, an NGA official bragged its technology was already being deployed by the Pentagon to prepare U.S. forces for the invasion of Iraq. Keyhole was also being used by US TV networks to display cool dynamic maps in their coverage of the Iraq War.
