FEATURES

Iraq Conditions Prompt Systems Upgrades
When it comes to harsh environments, vehicles in Iraq face some of the most rugged in the world. The Army’s Movement Tracking System, deployed in the late 1990s to keep truck convoys on the right road, is being upgraded for heavy equipment transports, Humvees and heavy expanded mobility tactical trucks.

When Sand Gets In The Drive, Who Fixes It?
Rugged, portable computing has come into its own as the Defense Department and General Services Administration achieve wider-ranging satellite connectivity for government users here and abroad.

Tough Travelers
Rugged desktop, notebook and handheld PCs have been military staples since the early 1990s. But in the mobile battlespaces of Afghanistan and Iraq, rugged servers, switches, equipment have become crucial combat tools.

A Second Act 2
Bombers came of age in World War II. Ubiquitous Huey helicopters came to symbolize state-of-the-art tactical tools in the Vietnam War. Operation Iraqi Freedom seems destined to be remembered for advancing a new kind of technology: the digital battlefield.
