DYK: Nancy Holway’s early work in computer programming at Lincoln Laboratory helped carry out the analytical work for the design of radar systems for detections and trajectory prediction of intercontinental ballistic missiles. She spent her entire career, 37 years, at the Laboratory investigating the statistical programs of radar detection and measurement, the SAGE height-finding problem, and the Army’s program of detection and defense against low-flying aircraft in battlefield areas. #MITLLhistory
I knew Nancy Holway!
Assistant Group Leader at MIT Lincoln Laboratory
1 周I’m glad Nancy Holway, and her peers, paved the way for my own daughter to pursue a career in software development. And I’m proud to have inherited the outstanding laboratory that pioneers like her created.
