The Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) was a system of large computers and associated networking equipment that coordinated data from many radar sites and processed it to produce a single unified image of the airspace over a wide area. [5]

Installations in the USAF Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) air defense network were configured as duplex systems, using a pair of AN/FSQ-7 computers to provide fault tolerance. One was active at any time, the other on standby. The standby system copied data from the active system to minimize switchover time if needed.
Post-World War II radar stations included those of the 1948 "five-station radar net" and the Lashup network completed in 1950, followed by the "Priority Permanent System" with the initial (priority) radar stations completed in 1952 [3]: 223 as a "manual air defense system" [4] with Manual ADCCs (e.g., using Plexiglas plotting boards as at the 1954 Ent Air Force Base command center for ADC.)

The Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) Air Defense System is the beginning of MIT Lincoln Laboratory's history of developing innovative technology. [6] The system was conceived to meet the challenge of providing air defense to the continental United States.
Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) FYQ-93 was a computer system used from 1983 to 2006, and built for the Joint Surveillance System (JSS) by the Hughes Aircraft Company . [ 1 ] The system consisted of a fault tolerant central computer complex using a two string concept that interfaced with many display consoles and interfaced with ...
The Experimental Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) Sector (ESS, Experimental SAGE Subsector [1] until planned Sectors/Subsectors were renamed NORAD Regions, Divisions, and Sectors) [2] was a prototype Cold War Air Defense Sector for developing the Semi Automatic Ground Environment.
In 1958 a Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) Data Center (DC-05) was established at Topsham AFS. The SAGE system was a network linking Air Force (and later FAA) General Surveillance Radar stations into a centralized center for Air Defense, intended to provide early warning and response for a Soviet nuclear attack.
