Rugged Hardware

Military, Federal, and industrial organizations must often employ the latest computing technology in harsh operating environments to complete job or mission-critical tasks. Whether on the battlefield, in special operations, on border patrol, in a factory, or on an oil rig – rugged, reliable computing hardware is essential. Our rugged workstations, servers, and consoles can operate in all weather conditions and our sealed computers will continue to work submerged in water/sand.

Custom hardware

Hexagon designs, manufactures, and integrates rugged commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)-based products, ranging from computer consoles and displays to workstations, that are able to withstand harsh environments to meet specific customer requirements and military, industrial, and commercial specifications, including MIL-SPEC, MIL-STD, and UL.

When creating our ruggedized products, we thoroughly evaluate each component, perform static and dynamic structural analysis, and conduct preliminary tests to ensure the product can effectively withstand the severity of the field and shipboard or industrial environments. Rugged outer enclosures provide secure installation of our products and protect the internal components from extreme elements, such as high-impact shock, vibration, electromagnetic pulse, high and low temperatures, liquids, dust, salt, and other contaminates.

Hexagon US Federal has proven our excellence in providing and maintaining highly complex systems and software as well as integration platforms for land, sea, and air implementation. We design, manufacture, and integrate rugged COTS-based products, ranging from computer consoles and displays to workstations and cameras, that are able to withstand harsh environments to meet specific customer requirements conforming to a wide array of military, industrial, and commercial specifications.
