Ruggedized Personal Digital Assistant (RPDA) Passes Combat
Tests
With quantity sales to the U.S. Armed Forces, Tadiran's RPDA is
becoming an essential element of the modern warfighter's equipment.
RPDA was designed by Tadiran Communications, and is in production
at its Tallahassee, Florida subsidiary Talla-Com Inc.
RPDA is designed to operate reliably in extreme conditions, by
aircrew, or mounted or dismounted troops. For airborne applications,
it provides pilots with flight data and preflight checklists,
while also enabling communications with automatic test equipment
systems for preflight inspection testing.
The small PDA provides a large effective display area for presentation
of maps, situational awareness and UAV imagery etc. As an essential
component of network-centric applications, RPDA can integrate
into all levels of command, utilizing its integral, secure and
immune communications capabilities. It is also equipped with a
GPS receiver and Bluetooth wireless communications capability
for rapid connectivity to nearby devices such as video cameras,
servers and printers.
