Specifically in a military application, a less cumbersome method of interface is needed. Development of a versatile and modular workstation mounted to a chair is the solution to this problem, allowing greater freedom of movement while maintaining functionality and durability. An operational prototype will be developed to demonstrate a feasible and reliable solution. Problem Statement Current computer architectures provide minimal mobility. Development of a more versatile architecture that maintains high performance is needed. Operating Environment High altitude High altitude Heavy vibrations Heavy vibrations Extreme temperatures Extreme temperatures Technical Problem Unobstructed display Unobstructed display High mobility High mobility Dependable power supply Dependable power supply Security Security Assumptions and Limitations Networking capabilities Networking capabilities Installed in secure area Installed in secure area Portable Portable Portable Power Supply Portable Power Supply Minimal space Minimal space Intended Users and Uses Sailor or airman in the United States military Sailor or airman in the United States military Navigation, communication, or targeting Other uses as software dictates Other uses as software dictates Self-contained modular system conforming to the constraints of a console while maintaining an easily usable, environmentally protected system.
