Advanced Digital Solutions for the Soldier on the Ground

DRS Tactical Systems is a global innovator in the production of high-performance rugged handheld computing solutions. Our products deliver advanced, reliable digital communications technology where it's needed most-into the hands of troops on the ground and on the move.

DRS Tactical Systems has developed a variety of handheld computers with capabilities covering the complete spectrum of user requirements from simple PDA functionality to highly secure devices suitable for use in mobile satellite communications systems.

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-based 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.
