How Getac Supports Rugged Tech Needs in EOD and Bomb Disposal Operations

What's the most durable Getac tablet for military EOD teams handling portable x-ray systems?  

For military EOD teams, durability is mission-critical. Our fully rugged tablets are engineered to withstand the extreme conditions of fieldwork. The best choices are our F120, K120, and UX10 models.

These devices offer:

 

  • Extreme Durability: MIL-STD-810H and IP66 certified to protect against 6-foot drops, vibration, dust, and powerful water jets.

  • All-Weather Performance: A wide operating temperature range of -29°C to 63°C (-20°F to 145°F) helps maintain performance in challenging climates.
  • Seamless Integration: Powerful processors and versatile I/O ports, including Thunderbolt™ 4, allow for smooth integration with portable x-ray systems to support critical operations

Can Getac tablets withstand underwater conditions for special ops bomb disposal?

The short answer is no. While our devices are engineered for extreme durability against environmental hazards, they are not designed for full underwater submersion.

  • Water Resistance vs. Underwater Use: Our most water-resistant tablets, like the ZX80, carry an IP67 rating. This certifies their ability to withstand immersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.

  • IP66-Rated Devices: Other models, such as the F110 and K120, are IP66 certified. This rating guarantees protection against powerful water jets, making them suitable for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.

  • Operational Limitations: While our tablets' water resistance is ideal for most above-water operations, they do not support full underwater use. Missions requiring prolonged submersion would necessitate specialized waterproof enclosures.

How do I choose a rugged device without cameras for secure EOD fieldwork?

We understand that secure environments often prohibit the use of cameras. 

While most Getac devices come with cameras as a standard feature, we can provide camera-free configurations as a customization request. Models like the S410, F110, and K120 can be modified by our customization team to meet your organization's strict security protocols.

To further secure your device without relying on camera-based authentication, we provide a suite of robust security features focused on user verification:

  • Smart card readers

  • Optional fingerprint readers

  • HF RFID readers

When discussing your needs with our sales team, request a camera-free device to ensure compliance with your security requirements from the moment it arrives.

What battery options support long-duration EOD missions in harsh environments? 

Getac fully rugged devices enhance power continuity during long-duration missions with hot-swappable dual-battery designs and optional high-capacity batteries.

  • Hot-Swappable Dual-Battery Design: Models like the F120, K120, and V120 allow continuous operation and prevent data loss during critical tasks by enabling battery changes without powering down the device.

  • Optional High-Capacity Batteries: These provide reliable, full-shift power for even longer field endurance in the most demanding and remote environments.
Which Getac model integrates best with x-ray systems for Explosive Ordinance Disposal?

Effective integration hinges on connectivity and processing power. Our fully rugged tablets, particularly the F120, K120, UX10, ZX10 and ZX80 are optimized for seamless integration with portable x-ray systems.

Key features for this application include:

  • High-Speed Connectivity: Equipped with Thunderbolt™ 4 and USB 3.2 ports for rapid data transfer from x-ray panels.

  • Superior Display: Featuring LumiBond® technology with up to 1200 nits of brightness, our screens remain clearly visible even in direct sunlight, which is crucial for analyzing detailed x-ray images in the field.

  • Powerful Processing: With the latest Intel® Core™ processors, our tablets have the power to run sophisticated imaging software without lag.

The combination of these features helps EOD teams can quickly and reliably capture and analyze critical data when every second counts.
