STRIL is short for "Stridsledning" which means "combat management" in Swedish. STRIL 50 (operational in the 1950s) and STRIL 60 (operational in the 1960s) were integrated systems for air combat management including early warning and combat aircraft guidance. The systems depended on radar and radio as primary technologies but STRIL 50 was based on manual control while STRIL 60 applied the usage of early digital computers. STRIL 60 were in the very frontline of providing combat critical information to airborne aircraft, the Saab J35 Draken and Saab J32 Lansen fighters, by means of digital telemetry links with direct presentation of target guidance data on dedicated gauges on the cockpit instrument panel, thus resembling an early instance of the fully computerized combat management systems soon to appear.
