The FLORIDA system can be divided into three main components: * The 4 radar antennas on the height locations. The rotating radar antenna consisted of a primaryradar, and a secondaryradar mounted over the primary radar. They could be fully retracted into the mountain peak which was automatically closed with a massive door. The height locations were also equipped with AAA in rotatably domes for self-defense. * The operational centers * The computing center.

  • The FLORIDA system can be divided into three main components: * The 4 radar antennas on the height locations. The rotating radar antenna consisted of a primaryradar, and a secondaryradar mounted over the primary radar. They could be fully retracted into the mountain peak which was automatically closed with a massive door. The height locations were also equipped with AAA in rotatably domes for self-defense. * The operational centers There were several operational centers available, wartime operational centers in mountain caverns (these were later refitted to FLORAKO operations centers) and an operations center for peace time at Dübendorf, this is right next to the surveillance squadron building and is now used by the civilian Skyguide as a test center. The consoles were equipped with a trackball (forerunner of the computer mouse) and allowed to edit each radar track quickly, when the FLORIDA system could not identify it automatically itself. Each console had several displays showing always best intercepiton path (the path was showed in several numbers who stood for height, speed,..) for the allocated intercept aircraft flying under the control of the tactical fighter controller (TFC) on this console. The TFC transmit this by radio to the Aircraft by using the Bambini-Code (a in WW2 by the Swiss Air Force developed tactical code like the today used Brevity code). Each operations center was also equipped with a large status board which indicated the most important information of all the military airfields. * The computing center. The computer center consists primarily of the computing system with the corresponding peripheral devices (magnettape, printer, punch cards and paper tape) and the interface devices (interfaces) for data communication with the local (on-screen consoles, status board, etc.) and external subsystems (Redundant computing centers, radar stations, Bl-64 positions, direction finders, eg.). The computer can process data from up to 400 aircraft simultaneously.
