TOPSCENE includes a two-processor Silicon Graphics' (SGI) Onyx VTX computer, supplemented with six proprietary LV accelerator boards." "As of 29 June 1995, eleven deployable systems are currently operational, and over thirty are under contract. Users include the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. System requirements: TOPSCENE consists of a Silicon Graphics Onyx VTX supplemented with six proprietary Loral Vought accelerator boards. Price: $522,000. Hope this helps.
