In the Navy
As part of its increased focus on training and preparation, the U.S. Navy is testing specially designed software using 300 Toughbook 18 notebooks aboard the U.S.S. Rushmore in San Diego. The web-based system lets officers and trainers evaluate how well crewmembers perform critical ship functions on a day-by-day basis. The goal is to outfit every surface ship in the Navy with the system in order to have a real-time idea of how ready each vessel is to respond to a crisis.
The Navy chose the Toughbook 18 because of its durability and ability to withstand the often rough conditions and harsh environments encountered worldwide by the crews of America's fighting ships.
