Elbit Systems of America, C4I Solutions will provide various quantities of accessories and spares for field warranty for both systems and production is expected to begin immediately.
Elbit Systems of America, C4I Solutions' RPDA and Tacter handheld computers are durable and field-proven solutions that empower warfighters to communicate and respond to situations in the toughest environments. Elbit Systems' handheld computers incorporate a modular design that lowers the total lifecycle cost for their military customers by offering an upgrade path to protect against obsolescence.

The Tacter is a multi-purpose rugged mobile computer designed to serve all combat soldiers. On the modern battlefield, the Tacter's embedded communications utilize today's protocols, making the terminal critical for any C4I system.
