Mission-critical situations demand ultra-rugged, battle-tested computers. The DRS Joint Platform Tablet (JPT) military rugged tablet (MRT) delivers that and more. The MRT has a proven track record for withstanding the harshest conditions – 1,298 days in the field and counting. With the flexibility to be hard-mounted or dismounted, it’s joint-ready whenever you are. No wonder it’s already the rugged computing tablet of choice by 9 programs and counting in the Army, Air Force and Marine Corps. For more information, visit JointForceSystems.com.
