Powering the Future: DT Research Launches New Line of AI-Ready Rugged Tablets

DT Research has introduced its most advanced rugged tablets to date, the DT302PA, DT312PA, DT323PA, and DT340TA – precision-engineered for next-generation, AI-driven performance in mission-critical environments.

Built for industries that demand reliability, from military and logistics to healthcare, manufacturing, and construction these rugged tablets bring artificial intelligence directly to the edge. Each model features a sunlight-readable, high-resolution touchscreen (10.1″ to 14″) in MIL-STD and IP65-rated enclosures designed to perform in the toughest conditions.

AI Acceleration at the Edge

At the core of the PA/TA Series is the Intel® Core™ Ultra 12-core processor with a built-in Neural Processing Unit (NPU)—a dedicated AI accelerator that enhances graphics, video, voice recognition, and predictive analytics.

For defense operations, this means faster analysis of drone and satellite data, enhancing real-time decision-making and adaptive training. In logistics and manufacturing, AI enables predictive maintenance, inventory forecasting, and warehouse automation. Healthcare providers benefit from improved imaging and modeling for diagnostic precision and telehealth efficiency.

“This newest tablet series showcases the next generation of robust NPU computing solutions and our commitment to future-focused innovation,” said Kevin Tsai, vice president of product engineering at DT Research. “Because we maintain full design control, we ensure long product lifecycles and consistent delivery for our customers’ exact needs.”

Built for Real-World Operations

The PA/TA Series is engineered for seamless mobility between field and office. Hot-swappable batteries, Wi-Fi 7, BT communications, and 5G LTE connectivity enable continuous uptime.

Integrated features include front and rear cameras, barcode scanners, GPS, and smart card/CAC readers. The DT302PA and DT312PA offer an optional rugged military-grade connector for secure Ethernet, USB, Serial, and power connections. The DT323PA adds an optional MIL-STD-3009 Class B NVIS-compliant display, allowing night-vision compatibility for low-light missions.

The Most Powerful Rugged Tablet Yet

Leading the lineup, the DT340TA sets a new standard for power and performance. It features an optional NVIDIA MXM Type B 5000A GPU  delivering up to 42.6 TFLOPs, unmatched in its class. This makes it ideal for 3D modeling, imaging, and AI-powered command and control systems, supporting applications from drone-based overwatch to emergency response and law enforcement.

Rugged. Compliant. Future-Ready.

Fully TAA compliant and assembled in California, DT Research’s AI-ready rugged tablets embody precision-engineered durability and long-term reliability. An ecosystem of instant-pairing keyboards, multi-slot battery chargers, and VESA-mountable cradles ensures flexible use and placement.

From data-driven decision-making to autonomous field operations, the PA/TA Rugged Tablet Series represents a major step forward in AI-powered mobility built for today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities.

The DT302PA, DT312PA, DT323PA, and DT340TA are available now through authorized DT Research partners and resellers worldwide.
