Rugged SFFs for vehicles
A vehicle in today's environment can be almost anything from a fully rugged land combat vehicle to an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) or helicopter to a marine vessel. The degree of harshness a computer must endure varies, as do the types of interfaces the platform needs to support. Several examples show the range of Small Form Factor (SFF) platforms designed for today's vehicle-based needs.
