Solutions for Every Scenario
DRS provides various computers, including the HTU and HTU-EK, and display systems in support of the Common Hardware/Software III (CHS-3) program, a ten-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract that provides commercial and rugged computers, network hardware equipment, power subsystems, peripheral devices and commercial software to U.S. Department of Defense customers worldwide.
Through this contract, next-generation commercial and ruggedized workstations, plus associated hardware and software are provided to U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force tactical computer users. All other federal agencies are also eligible to purchase computer products and services under the contract.
CHS-3 uses COTS architectures as the foundation for ruggedizing tactical computing platforms for the digitized Army. As a result, military users get access to the same power and performance levels available to their commercial counterparts.
Flat Panel Rugged Thin Clients
Flat Panel Rugged (FPR) Thin Client computers feature a fully integrated computer workstation within the same slim chassis as the flat panel display. The FPR Thin Client integrated computer provides the latest Pentium® class processors, fixed or removable hard drives, flash drives, PCMCIA expansion, redundant Ethernet, built-in UPS and custom I/O panel configurations. Optional soft touch-screen, keyboard/trackball, copper/fiber Ethernet converters and a multitude of mounting options are available. FPR Flat Panels function as situational displays and user interfaces. They feature high-resolution, 24-bit AMLCD technology and are designed to meet rigorous specifications that ensure reliable performance in hostile environments.
