The first experimental machine, retroactively known as "'MOBIDIC A "', was delivered to Fort Monmouth in December 1959 . By this time the Army had expressed increasing interest in the concept and had ordered four additional machines and associated software, including a COBOL compiler.

The basic layout of the MOBIDIC system was also used for the AN / ASD-1 computer used on the Boeing RC-135 ELINT aircraft, the PARADE and TIDEWATER projects, and its basic circuitry was used extensively in the development of the IBM 7090 for the BMEWS systems.

"' MOBIDIC B "'was supplied to the Army's Tactical Operations Center, and featured dual CPUs for increased reliability . "'MOBIDIC C "'was sent to Fort Huachuca as a software testing system . "'MOBIDIC D "'was ordered for the Army Security Agency in Europe, and "'MOBIDIC 7A "'was shipped to the 7th Army Stock Control Center in Zweibr�cken, Germany . 7A's service entry was delayed due to the failure of the Army-supplied tape drives, but Sylvania replaced these with off-the-shelf commercial units and the system went operational in January 1962, the first off-shore deployment.
