Designers of military systems continually look to leverage the latest commercial technology such as the Intel Corei7 processor for military platforms on land, at sea, and in the air. However, military systems live in environments where desktop systems would not survive and therefore need rugged packaging that can with stand extreme shock and vibration, sand and dust storms, and extreme hot and cold temperatures.
