An explanation of the mil-spec standards for computers

Computer technology is perpetually characterized by the speed of its evolution. In a sense, computing is always at the pinnacle of technology, and yet some examples take this even a step further. This is the case for the mil-spec standards in computers, which TJR Global shares today.

Mechanical shock testing: Mil-spec computers need to be able to withstand the rough bumps and grinds that come in the rather aggressive nature of military operations. These machines keep highly specialized and classified data, which can be ruined and compromised in the heat of the battle. With shock proofing, these computers should be able to function well in the delivery of tasks.

Altitude testing: The machine should perform well, quite literally, in high places to earn the rightful claim to being a mil-spec computer. The military is always on the go in its operations, and it is quite typical that the machine is used during transport. Flying has been the fastest way to go, which demands that a machine can do the work even at extremely high altitudes. Most laptops cannot handle the pressure, but mil-spec computers do.

Explosive atmosphere testing
: The enemy knows how much of an advantage they can get if they were to eliminate an adversary unit’s communications in the war zone, TJR Global notes. It’s rather commonplace to target a unit’s computers with highly sophisticated weaponry, to do the job, and gain the advantage. For this reason, mil-spec computers are also tested for how they perform under an explosive atmosphere, ensuring that they can withstand dangerous and hazardous substance exposure.

TJR Global is a Fort Myers, Florida-based company supporting prime contractors, sub-prime contractors, and contract manufacturers in the fields of aerospace and defense, information technology, and telecommunications. For more updates, follow this Twitter page.
