Meet the LT360: The Rugged Laptop Built for Frontline Challenges

In today’s world, where rugged reliability and AI-ready performance are mission-critical, DT Research has answered the call with its newest innovation: the LT360 Rugged Laptop. Announced on October 17, 2025, this powerhouse is built to excel in the toughest conditions from battlefield command centers to warehouse logistics, field operations in harsh weather, and first-responder vehicles.

Designed for the Demands of the Real World

What sets the LT360 apart is how DT Research has visibly listened to what users in military, law enforcement, first-responder, and industrial settings really need. The laptop is built to meet rugged certifications with IP65, MIL-STD-810H for shock and vibration resistance, and MIL-STD-461G for electromagnetic interference control.

Beyond its ruggedness, it is also EPEAT-certified, Energy Star-compliant, and TAA-compliant, clear proof that sustainability and regulatory demands were part of the design brief.

Performance that Keeps Up with Intelligence-Driven Workflows

Under the hood, the LT360 runs on Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, Windows 10/11 LTSC or numerous Linux distributions, all packaged to support AI-driven workloads. Equipped with Intel Core Ultra “Series 2” 5/7 processors, it is built for real-world computing needs where latency, connectivity, and ruggedness matter. The fan-based cooling design keeps performance up without adding excessive weight.

The display is built for the elements: a 13.3″ high-brightness 1000 nits touchscreen (1920×1080), and an option for 4K (3840×2160) resolution, ideal for high-definition video, collaboration, and image-rich workflows.

Night Vision, Hot-Swap Batteries & Mission-Ready Connectivity

One standout feature of LT360 is the optional night-vision display mode. In daylight mode, the screen delivers 800 nits; in NVIS (Night Vision Imaging System) mode it drops to 0–20 nits for naked-eye viewing, or 0–0.7 nits when used through night-vision goggles, compliant with MIL-STD-3009 class B. For extended field operations, dual hot-swappable batteries (60W or 90W at 11.4V) guarantee continuous operation without the typical downtime.

On the connectivity and security front, the LT360 offers a built-in CAC/smart-card reader, IR camera, dual-frequency RFID, and optional IP-rated military connectors (Fischer, Bernier, GlenAir, ODU). It also supports up to 4 TB SSD, dual RAM slots up to 64 GB, built-in WiFi-7 (Intel BE200), BT  5.4 LE connectivity, and mobile broadband (4G/5G LTE/AWS). In short: secure access, powerful computer, and a connection wherever you are.

Why It Matters

In environments where failure isn’t an option and data must be secured, connections maintained, and durability assured, DT Research’s LT360 stands out. Many off-the-shelf laptops struggle when dust, moisture, vibration, or extreme temperatures, but the LT360 rugged laptop is built for those conditions. It isn’t just tough; it’s technically capable of supporting advanced workflows (AI, 4K video, mobile broadband) in the field without compromise.

It also ticks the sustainability box; EPEAT certification and Energy Star compliance mean organizations can achieve tougher environmental and procurement standards while still getting high performance. That makes it attractive not just for defense and first responders, but also for industrial, manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics sectors where rugged reliability and regulatory compliance intersect.

If your mission depends on a computing platform that can be trusted in the field, under pressure, and in unpredictable environments, the LT360 delivers. With its powerful processing, flexible configuration, night-vision display options, and certified ruggedness, this isn’t your average laptop – it’s engineered for action.
