{"selectable":false,"height":"450","width":"800"} Experimental SAGE Subsector (ESS) (1955-1958) - Simultaneously with the development of the manual Permanent System radar network, separate efforts were made to automate as much of the air defense process as possible using fledgling digital computer and data transmission technology. This experimental project run by MIT's Lincoln Laboratory resulted in the SAGE System. The research project phases included: the Cape Cod System I (1953), the Cape Cod System II (1954), and the Experimental SAGE Subsector (ESS) (1955-1958). The research project ended in 1958 with the deployment of the first SAGE System direction center at McGuire AFB, McGuire SAGE Direction Center DC-01. The deployment phase began in 1958 with a new organization spun off of Lincoln Laboratory, the MITRE Corporation. The Rand Corporation had already assumed software responsibility in 1955. Lincoln Laboratory returned to their research role and that continues to this day. Work in progress
