Rugged Hardware Products are engineered from the ground up:

• To resist extremes of Vibration and Impacts/Deceleration
• To resist fine dust and particulates
• To resist moisture & corrosive liquids

And designed to be easily field serviceable:

• By requiring no tools to change critical components such as HDDs & batteries
• While not compromising chassis integrity

Product built to comply with:

• MIL STD 810F (mandatory)
  • Covers clearly defined tests for:
    • Vibration & drop/impact resistance
    • Moisture & dust resistance
• IP54 or higher (mandatory)
  • Covers clearly defined tests for spray, dust & water immersion
• MIL STD 461E “Navy” or “Ground Army” (optional)
  • Electro-magnetic emissions compliance
    (note: very hard to achieve yet some mislead by stating “MIL STD 461” which is a much less stringent Navy version of the standard)

Product features evolved in the field, including:

• On the outside:
  • Easily removable, sealed HDD, DVD & battery canisters
  • Canister slot into sealed bays
  • Bays & ports with dust covers to maximize dust& moisture resistance
  • Resistive (not capacitive) mouse pads for more accurate pointing in high dust/moisture
    environments
  • Heavy duty LCD/cover hinge
  • Passive Cooling
