Mission-Specific Software & System Configuration
Modern defense operations have highly-specific demands that go beyond what “out-of-the-box” solutions can offer. That said, many standard devices still create unnecessary friction through rigid system configurations, fragmented OS platforms, and other software constraints that slow down high-stakes mission execution.
Getac’s software customization capabilities are purpose-built to solve these operational challenges. By tailoring device behavior to specific tactical environments, Getac gives defense teams deep system-level control in the battlefield. It allows system integrators to streamline large-scale deployments, integrate seamlessly across complex defense ecosystems, and maintain operational security under the most demanding conditions.
By combining rugged reliability with software flexibility, Getac enables system integrators to configure devices to fit the mission, not the other way around. The result is a defense-ready solution custom-designed to support evolving tactical requirements with total confidence.
CUSTOM SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS FOR DEFENCE: KEY BENEFITS
Getac software customization capabilities are designed to help defense organizations integrate, deploy, and manage mission-critical systems with greater speed, flexibility, and control.
CUSTOMIZED BIOS & FLEXIBILITY
Getac devices support Windows, Android, and customizable Linux* environments to meet diverse operational needs. With custom BIOS configurations, devices can be pre-configured for faster deployment and immediate access to mission-critical applications.
*Subject to compatibility testing.
EMBEDDED CONTROLLER (EC) CUSTOMIZATION
Gain deep control over hardware behavior without complex coding. Configure mission-specific functions such as one-touch EMCON modes, programmable shortcut keys, custom power management profiles, and specialized boot behavior to align seamlessly with operational requirements and proprietary defense systems.
STREAMLINED LARGE-SCALE DEPLOYMENT
Simplify large-scale rollouts with deployment tools built for enterprise-scale defence ops. Getac Android devices are compatible with industry-leading MDM solutions, helping system integrators efficiently install, configure, deploy, and manage large device fleets with total operational visibility.
DEFENCE-GRADE DATA SECURITY & DEVICE INTEGRITY
Protect sensitive mission data with secure SSD data sanitisation through Getac Secure Erase and Getac Disk Wipe capabilities for both Windows and Android devices, helping ensure confidential information becomes permanently irretrievable when necessary. For Windows platforms, Getac also provides Device Component Integrity based on the NIST SP 1800-34C standard. We include certificates and public keys, along with guidance and support, to help organizations validate device authenticity and ensure a trusted hardware delivery process.
TAK-READY SYSTEM INTEGRATION SUPPORT
Getac rugged Android and Windows devices are designed to meet ATAK and WinTAK system requirements. From rugged hardware and secure deployment to integration support and compatibility validation, Getac helps enable reliable TAK performance across complex operational ecosystems.
LONG-TERM STABILITY & LIFECYCLE SUPPORT
Support long-term defence contracts with extended maintenance and dedicated engineering support. Beyond initial deployment, Getac provides up to 3 years of critical software support after end-of-sale (EOS), alongside remote diagnostics and debugging for complex cases, ensuring sustained operational readiness and long-term risk mitigation.
