TacticalComputers is the new (January 2020) international Group for owners and enthusiasts of military and other tactical computers, normally having been obtained via a government surplus purchase.
We hope that the Group will provide a useful source of information about these computers, which is often extremely difficult to otherwise discover. We also welcome membership from individuals who have used these computers in service, or who worked for the original manufacturers.
We would be very pleased to hear from any of you who have successfully upgraded this type of hardware, since although (once you manage to get inside the case!) many units which can be obtained as surplus are inevitably first-generation Pentium or older. TacticalComputers caters for all users of tactical computer systems, whether desktop, luggable, laptop, mobile data terminal, or PDA or other handheld format, from manufacturers such as DRS, Motorola, Panasonic, xPlore Technologies, Husky/Itronix, Symbol, or Hewlett-Packard. Anyone with an interest in this type of computer system is very welcome. We support all users of such devices whether professional or amateur, but particularly recognise the needs of the collector, or other users who fall outside of corporate arrangements for support, service or repair.

We also welcome "For Sale" or "Wanted" advertisements relating to tactical ruggedised hardware and accessories and their associated software, but please respond to such postings directly rather than via the list.
