MILITARY-GRADE RUGGED LAPTOPS FOR U.S. DEFENSE OPERATIONS
Rugged laptops trusted in the field—delivering proven reliability, advanced security, and seamless connectivity in demanding conditions.
WHAT IS A MILITARY-GRADE RUGGED LAPTOP?
A military-grade rugged laptop is a hardened computing platform specifically built to operate in harsh field conditions. Unlike consumer devices, military-grade laptops:
Pass MIL-STD-810H testing for temperature, shock, vibration, humidity, and altitude
Include IP65–IP66 sealing against dust and powerful water jets
Operate from -20°F to 145°F
Survives a 6-foot drop
Include advanced security, encrypted storage, and authentication features for classified environments
Support hot-swappable batteries to maintain continuous uptime
Purpose-built rugged computers help support uninterrupted operations in harsh environments, including field service, utilities, public safety, transportation, and defense-related work.
KEY FEATURES OF GETAC MILITARY-GRADE LAPTOPS
Certified Durability
All devices are independently tested and certified to meet MIL-STD-810H and IP66 standards, ensuring they withstand extreme temperatures, drops, vibration, water, and dust.
Advanced Security
Getac military-grade laptops support a layered security approach, including secure BIOS, self-encrypting storage, multi-factor authentication (including smart card readers), and optional TEMPEST configurations for sensitive environments. For organizations with elevated security requirements, Getac can also integrate partner solutions such as Cigent for FIPS 140-validated SSD options and pre-boot authentication, and Eclypsium for visibility and detection of software, hardware, and firmware-level threats to help protect systems across the device lifecycle.
Operational Reliability
Hot-swappable batteries allow for continuous use without shutdown, a critical necessity for extended/remote missions.
Comprehensive Warranty
Getac's bumper-to-bumper warranty includes accidental damage coverage, helping to reduce total cost of ownership and minimize unexpected repair costs over the device lifecycle.
Built for C4ISR
Our laptops integrate seamlessly into Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) frameworks for modern defense operations.
MIL-STD-810H AND IP CERTIFICATION: THE PROOF OF DURABILITY
Getac military-grade laptops are certified to meet stringent military and international standards, providing documented proof of their resilience.
MIL-STD-810H: This certification involves rigorous testing for environmental stress. It simulates real-world operational challenges like extreme temperatures, transport shock in military vehicles, high altitudes, and humidity.
MIL-STD-461G: This standard ensures electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). It certifies that our laptops will not interfere with, nor be affected by, other electronic equipment like radios and radar systems.
IP66 Rating: This Ingress Protection rating guarantees the device is completely sealed against dust and can withstand powerful water jets. This is critical for operations in desert environments or during maritime missions.
ADVANCED SECURITY FOR MISSION-CRITICAL DATA
In military applications, data security is non-negotiable. Getac laptops integrate multiple layers of hardware and software protection to safeguard classified information.
Hardware-Level Security: We implement a secure BIOS to prevent tampering, use self-encrypting drives to protect data at rest, and integrate multi-factor authentication tools like smart card (CAC) and fingerprint readers.
Intel vPro Technology: This platform provides enterprise-grade security and allows for remote device management, enabling IT administrators to deploy patches and maintain security compliance in the field.
TEMPEST Certification: For operations handling highly sensitive information, select laptops can be configured to meet TEMPEST standards. This NSA specification prevents compromising electromagnetic emanations that could be intercepted through electronic surveillance.
