Colorado and Oz | These will not be the lowest cost tools that could be considered? Is a suggestion as to what a hardened computer can look like when price is not the controlling reason for selection... and sometimes even made in the USA? Panasonic IMHO is the leading provider and innovator for popular amd professional hardened PC equipment.
MANUFACTURERS DEVELOP TOOLS THAT ARE SMALL AND LIGHT ENOUGH TO BE CARRIED INTO THE FIELD, AND AS TOUGH AS THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO USE THEM.
"As geospatial technology plays an increasingly important role in all aspects of military operations, the tools of the trade need more than ever to be able to go wherever warfighters do."
"That means that GEOINT-optimized computers and related equipment must be small and light enough to be carried into the field, and as tough as the men and women who use them. A number of companies are working hard to meet the geospatial market’s needs for rugged and handheld equipment. MaxVision, Panasonic, Adapx, Handheld US and General Dynamics Itronix (GDItronix) are among those striving to develop products that meet or exceed the military’s geospatial requirements."
