Rugged Tablet Delivers Smartphonelike Experience
The Harris Ruggedized Tablet is a secure, portable device that delivers a “smartphone-like” experience to military personnel and first responders who require secure real-time information at their fingertips to execute their missions. The new Harris RF-3590 is a 7-inch ruggedized Android tablet that provides highperformance application and computing capability at the tactical edge. The unit integrates seamlessly to the most advanced military and public safety communications platforms; delivers targeted suites of missioncritical software applications to users on the battlefield and in first responder roles; and supports emerging requirements for video, monitoring position locations, accessing secure databases and other crucial ISR tasks. It is rated as a ruggedized device to provide reliable operation in heat, cold and other extreme environments. Harris has received initial orders for test and evaluation purposes and is optimistic the product will be well received. For the warfighter, the RF-3590 leverages the military’s emerging wideband tactical radio networks and enables real-time sharing of mission-critical information across the battlespace. The Harris tablet is also designed to integrate with the Harris Falcon Networking System, an end-to-end system for connecting individual warfighters to the tactical cloud.

Solid-State Drive Offers High Performance in Harsh Environments TeleCommunication Systems (TCS), a provider of mobile communication technology, has announced the availability of its ultra-rugged Galatea solid-state drive, which provides high performance for a wide range of computer and vehicle applications operating in the harshest environments. Manufactured in America at TCS’ AS9100-certified facility, Galatea works across industrial temperature ranges and has been verified by outside laboratories to meet MIL-STD-810 requirements for shock, vibration, temperature range, temperature
shock, humidity and altitude. Galatea takes data security to new levels by combining 128-bit AES encryption with high-speed, full-drive erasure in less than 15 seconds. It provides high performance for the most demanding applications, fitting 200GB of user data into a standard 9.5 mm, 2.5-inch case while delivering sustained read/write rates of 280MB/s and random read/write rates over 40,000 input/output operations per second. In the event of an unexpected power failure, Galatea has built-in power backup to prevent data loss.
Rugged Computer Features High-Definition Video Playback The new RT10C rugged computer from GammaTech Computer Corp. features a touchscreen, 10.2-inch wide display and Windows 7 compatibility, in a compressed military-grade durable design. The GammaTech RT10C features an Intel Core i7-620UE mobile processor with integrated HD graphics providing stunning visuals and smooth high-definition video playback, and runs on either Windows embedded standard 2009, Windows 7, or Windows 7 Pro embedded operating systems. It supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies. Other features include an AC power connector, two USB 2.0 ports, an Ethernet port, PCMCIA slot, two mini card slots, CompactFlash slot and VGA port. An optional vehicle or office docking station includes four USB 2.0 ports, an Ethernet port, Serial port, and VGA port. User-friendly features include a high-resolution (1024x600) WSVGA TFT LCD display with an LED
backlight to eliminate eyestrain. The resistive touch-screen display responds to both stylus and fingertips. Data is kept safe with security features such as TPM 1.2 fingerprint recognition, and an optional Smart Card reader. The unit meets military 810G standards for durability and IP65 standards for dust resistance.
Latest Forensic Tool Offers Advanced Incident Response Release of the new Forensic Toolkit (FTK) 4 from AccessData is designed to give FTK users enterprise-class capabilities at a standalone price. A new feature called Single-Node Enterprise gives FTK users the full analysis functionality of AD Enterprise, AccessData’s enterprise-class investigation and incident response solution. This gives organizations affordable access to more advanced incident response and remote investigative capabilities.

Using FTK, computer forensics examiners are able to securely and remotely investigate a running computer to analyze and collect data from disk, volatile and RAM, eliminating travel and reducing response time. Corporations and investigators in many disciplines increasingly require the ability to investigate internal matters, such as HR policy violations, regulatory compliance and employee separation. Whether motivated
by regulations or internal policy, the ability to conduct remote investigations is a requirement to address the risks of a digital workplace. FTK 4 now offers the critical components necessary to manage those risks to organizations that cannot spend tens of thousands of dollars on large-scale enterprise investigations platforms. These capabilities have never been offered in such an integrated and affordable solution.
