Elbit Systems of America, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd. announced it was awarded follow-on orders from the United States Army PM Battle Command and PM Mortars for Rugged Personal Digital Assistant Computers (RPDA) and Ruggedized Handheld Computers (Tacter). 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.

To date, Elbit Systems of America has supplied the Army with over 20,000 RPDA units and continues to make updates to accommodate the next generation solider. 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.

ESA C4I Solutions' RPDA product line has been providing computer and communications systems focused on military applications for nearly a decade. C4I Solutions is a leading supplier of tactical handheld computers to the US Military, including both the RPDA and the Tacter-31 multi-function computers.
