Cost effective and user friendly
At TOUGHBOOK, we’ve developed COTS devices that can be easily and cost-effectively deployed into any organisation across the sector.
Based on defence customer feedback, they look and feel like the commercial systems your soldiers use in civilian life, while maintaining optimum ruggedisation standards. So, upon deployment, your force can get to grips with usability faster.
Undetectable operations
When it’s mission critical that personnel go under the radar, the TOUGHBOOK concealed mode allows all radio and display features to be disabled in less than a second and at the push of a button.
Devices can also be certified to MIL-STD-461H, ensuring they meet strict controls for limited electro-magnetic interference.
Ongoing support
Eliminate the cost and hassle of replacing hardware every few years. Our military-grade products are designed to last for longer and come with a variety of TOUGHBOOK support and warranty options to meet any operational requirement.
Modular customisation and more
Because every user – and organisation – is different, we offer design customisation and software integrations, engineered for the defence sector.
We can also tailor specific accessories. For example, our vehicle docking solutions come with a variety of mounting brackets as standard, but can also be made bulletproof for transportation to and from the battlefield.
