Jurassic Park System (Film Universe)

Ray Arnold using the Jurassic Park System.

The Jurassic Park System was a collection of networked computers and software that formed the control systems for Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar. The overdependance on automation proved to be the achilles heel of Jurassic Park and factored heavily in its downfall.
