The Problem
The XO was in a quandary. His artillery battery was to be tested for hasty occupation and displacement. In this type of exercise, there was simply no time to boot up a computer, and they rarely survived the rough-and-tumble packing that accompanies a fast redeployment. The XO winced as he remembered how heavy pelican cases were tossed on top of his laptop.
For a hasty occupation, the XO had trained on manual equipment such as paper maps and M2 compass. However, “Actual” had other ideas. Only a mobile computer had up-to-date grid maps of the frequently changing roads in the desert training area. Furthermore, his Command Element wanted to be able to move his battery and change targets at a moment’s notice. His battery had to be “networked.”
Where could he find a computer that would boot up quickly, and survive the harsh desert conditions as well as not-too-gentle handling by his troops?
The solution
The ROCKY RK10, the newest upgrade of AMREL’s popular 15” laptop, has 25 years of rugged experience built in to its tough frame. Independently certified for MIL-STDs 810 and 461, the RK10 has a combat-proven platform that has successfully operated in the harshest combat environments.
The ROCKY RK10 also has AMREL’s unique Fault Tolerant Isolation Design – an encapsulation process that protects individual components from water, dust, and other foreign matter. Analogous to a submarine, each chamber in the body of ROCKY notebooks and on-board/fixed vehicle units is individually sealed.
Designed for speed, the RK10 has revved up its operation with:
- Powerful i7 processor
- Better graphics card
- Expanded memory
- USB 3.0 ports
- Improved storage
The RK platform has proven its reliability in the field in applications for:
- Portable Sensor Control
- Portable Radio System
- Search & Rescue
- Flight Line
- Unmanned Systems
Operator Control Units - Portable Radio System
- Many other applications
