DT Research has once again set the bar for rugged, mission-ready technology with the launch of its new line of next-generation military tactical tablets. Unveiled at DSEI UK 2025 in London, the DT361WF, DT361ND, DT381WF, and DT381ND deliver unmatched security, versatility, and durability for defense forces and field professionals operating in the toughest environments.
Built for Mission-Critical Demands
Modern defense operations require compact, reliable, and secure computing tools that can adapt to evolving mission needs. The new 6-inch and 8-inch tactical tablets are designed to meet these challenges head-on. Fully TAA compliant and built with complete design control, the tablets ensure a trusted and transparent supply chain, critical for customers who demand confidence in the security and reliability of their equipment.
Robert Droppa, General Manager of Government and Healthcare Solutions at DT Research, explained,
“This next generation series of tactical handhelds gives defense forces worldwide a secure, rugged, and versatile tablet they can rely on in the most demanding conditions.”
Flexibility Through Choice
The DT361 and DT381 series are engineered for longevity and adaptability. Customers can choose between Microsoft® Windows® 11 IoT Enterprise (WF models) or Android® 13 (ND models), ensuring compatibility with a wide range of defense and industrial applications.
Connectivity is equally flexible: users can specify IP-rated military connectors from trusted names such as Fischer, Glenair, Bernier, and ODU, supporting Ethernet, USB, and power options. Inside, either an Intel® Core i3-N355 or Qualcomm® 6490 processor provides consistent performance and long product lifecycles.
Enhanced Night Vision Performance
When missions take place in low-light or no-light conditions, clarity and discretion are essential. These tablets offer NVIS B-compliant displays in two specialized configurations:
- 0.7 nit for use with night vision goggles
- 20 nits for direct human eye viewing in complete darkness
Both options ensure operators maintain situational awareness without interference to night vision systems.
Durability Meets Security
True to DT Research’s rugged heritage, the tablets meet IP65, MIL-STD-810H, and MIL-STD-461G standards, withstand continuous use with hot-swappable batteries, and feature built-in protections such as ARM TrustZone® and NIST compliance for secure operations.
Powering Tactical and Field Operations
Beyond durability, these military grade tablets are designed to enable today’s most advanced tactical platforms. They support WINTAK (Windows Tactical Assault Kit) and ATAK (Android Tactical Assault Kit), providing a secure digital backbone for:
- Geospatial mapping
- Real-time data sharing
- Collaborative planning across units
- Reconnaissance and UAV operations
- Command and Control (C2) integration
- Blue Force Tracking
- Field medical support and remote vehicle control
The result: faster, more informed decision-making in dynamic environments.
Expanding to Civilian Applications
While purpose-built for defense, the new DT361 and DT381 series also deliver value across utilities, agriculture, land management, disaster response, and public safety. Field professionals benefit from the same rugged durability, NVIS-capable displays, and reliable connectivity, whether collecting data in remote terrain, piloting drones, or coordinating emergency response efforts.
Availability
The DT361WF, DT361ND, DT381WF, and DT381ND rugged tablets are available now through authorized DT Research partners and resellers worldwide.
With this launch, DT Research continues to advance secure, rugged, and mission-ready solutions that empower both defense forces and critical field operations bringing trusted performance right to the point of need.
