while a third version is fitted with integral GPS (supporting
military PPS and SAASM techniques) and a 3,600 mAh rechargeable

At AUSA 2007 Tadiran announced a new order worth
$14.4 million for the supply of 5th generation RPDA (RPDA-57)
systems for multiple programs run by the US Army.. The company
also supplies the U.S. Army with Tacter-31M, handheld or vehicle
mounted PC terminal, a multipurpose rugged computer designed
to serve all combat echelons in the modern battlefield. This
compact device has embedded communications protocols, including
MIL-STD 188-220, providing a critical building block for modern
C4I systems. The terminal supports simultaneous connectivity
for two independent tactical radio nets, as well as Local Area
Network ( LANs) and other nets. According to Tadiran, in recent
years Tacter 31M has become the system of choice for the US
Army and Marine Corps.
These
new RPDAs feature a powerful Intel 520 MHz PXA-270 processor,
running on a 400Mhz processor bus, 128MB RAM, 64MB ROM in both
a Wireless and Non-Wireless configuration. The device uses unique
modular design configured to accommodate optional PC cards,
tactical modem protocols and GPS to support multiple mission
profiles.
