Don't forget that the word "computer" had a much broader and looser
meaning before the early 1960's.

Going *strictly* by the odd name, it's likely to be more than some
gunnery or simulation analog machine, but it's entirely possible it's
highly specialized and not a "computer" as many know them today.

It's at least partially digital, but the patch panels strongly suggest
it may not be stored-program.
