Does anyone remember notch's 0x10c? My college friends and I were going to implement these exact kinds of things digitally to solve the vehicle stability and fire control problems. We would've owned faces.

Here's another good naval training film regarding navigation. Fascinating how they were able to do this back before GPS.
hackaday.com has a nice collection of tech documentaries and training videos, it's work a look if this was interesting:
