Svoboda was born in Prague in 1907. Attending a series of schools, he studied at the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU), from where he graduated in 1931. In that same year, he traveled to England briefly to study physics, but returned to Czechoslovakia to conduct research and study under V...
Svoboda and Dolejšek worked together on several projects, including X-rays and other astronomy-related aspects, but the rapidly rising specter of what was occurring in Germany, set against the backdrop of the economic collapse during his time, made pure science difficult to pursue. Even so, Svoboda took up positions at the CTU, including becoming a...
In 1936, with war looming, Svoboda quit his positions in academia and joined the CDF[clarification needed] and the Ministry of National Defense. Working there on a variety of projects, he was successful in vastly improving anti-aircraft artillery sights, capable of using predictive motion to "lead" a moving aircraft based on its direction and speed...
Svoboda's flight this time was far less organized, fleeing fast moving Panzerunits. Just before France fell his pregnant wife Milada bore him twin sons while on the run. During the flight one of the babies passed away, and there was a great deal of harassment as they fled. They managed to arrive in Marseilles, where they attempted first to get out ...
Svoboda arrived in the US in 1941, settling in New York City after almost a year of trials and tribulations. Svoboda participated in experiments in the Radiation Laboratory at MIT in Boston, and worked to develop a new auto-aiming targeting scope for warship anti-aircraft cannons. This was eventually developed fully as the Mark 56 Gun Fire Control ...
After the war, he spent some time helping to write computer documentation for the initial efforts in the US before returning to Prague.While initially he had wanted to stay in the US to participate in the development of computers, early frustrations and military controls of the project made him decide he would be better off trying to build up a Cze...
Svoboda left the unstable situation in Czechoslovakia in 1964, traveling first to Yugoslavia and from there to Greece, and then to the USA once more. Upon his arrival immigration officials were unmoved by his situation until he produced the medal given to him by the US Navy. Communication with certain authorities established his bona fides as a use...
Svoboda was one of the most influential scientists in the 20th century. His designs and influence can be felt in everything from the computer design of the Apollo program to the theory behind what became the Phalanx CIWS, from early work on computer modeling to innovative combinations of electrical engineering with logic designto make fault-toleran...
