The Latest in Defense Technology

June 20, 2020
Shown here are some of the latest technology advances aimed at the defense industry, where ruggedness and the ability to maintain performance in incredibly harsh conditions are paramount.

Just as in the civilian world, the defense industry’s technology evolves and is adapted for use against current and emerging threats. That technology also needs to be ruggedized to handle the rigors of harsh environments, including stress, vibration, shock, saltwater, and extreme temperature ranges. All it takes is one component to fail in the system, and the platform is rendered useless, which is why ruggedization is critical for the latest tech to continue to function efficiently and effectively. Below are several entries of the latest ruggedized tech designed for the defense industry.
