Parsippany NJ (SPX) Jan 17, 2011 DRS Technologies has announced that its Tactical Systems Group has recently unveiled its newest ARMOR rugged mobile computer, the ARMOR X7 compact tablet. This all-new small mobile computer is specifically-designed for those mission-critical tasks that require connectivity, hand-held mobility, ease of use and the durability to support all-weather operations. "The ARMOR X7 is a completely new product created in response to our customer's request to take our knowledge in tablet computing and make it more portable," said Mike Sarrica, vice president and general manager for DRS Tactical Systems. "The result is a very unique, ergonomically-friendly compact tablet that expands the capabilities of tablet computing in the field and mobile workplace like never before." "Built with integrated non-slip handgrips, the ARMOR X7 utilizes dual, hot-swappable battery options to exceed nine hours of operating time. It builds on many years of our experience in field service; transportation, rail and port facilities; public safety, and other areas of challenging environments as well as the experience from our military and commercial personnel that have deployed our rugged mobile computers around the world," Sarrica added. The ARMOR X7 is certified to MIL-STD-810G for extremes in temperature, vibration, shock and drops. It is highly resistant to dust and moisture, earning an IP65 rating for ingress protection, while providing a 7" sunlight readable touch screen display. It includes a range of connectivity options such as Gobi 2000 WWAN, Bluetooth wireless, integrated GPS and 802.11 a/g/n WiFi, at a weight of only 2.8lbs. It features a single-core Intel Atom processor N450 and runs Windows Microsoft Windows 7 Professional. Additionally, the ARMOR X7 marks the debut of the new m-SATA solid-state drives from Intel in the rugged marketplace, in both 40GB and 80GB capacities. "Our compact tablet carried a requirement for a compact memory solution and the Intel Solid-State Drive 310 Series design fit the bill," commented Sarrica. "It was an easy choice based on quality and performance." "The ARMOR X7 from DRS is an excellent embedded implementation of the Intel Solid-State Drive 310 Series m-SATA form factor," said Pete Hazen, director of marketing for Intel's NAND Solutions Group. "The ultra-small Intel SSD offers high performing, reliable and low-power storage for on-the-move systems like the DRS ARMOR."
