U.S. Marines show off technology used on the battlefield

This week, the United States Marines invaded Boston Common to show off high tech military hardware. While crowds were noticeably impressed with the heavy machinery such as the Osprey helicopter and Abrams tank, the most cutting edge military equipment came in much smaller packages.

The Marine Forces System Command is a branch dedicated to integrating new technology into the Marines' inventory. Consumer electronics actually play a very big role in the Marine's technological arsenal.

Check out the Refurbished Panasonic Toughbook or BLACK HAWK C-29.  Think you are gonna need a Piece of communication that can, display maps to a small Platoon? How about something that can triangulate your laser location prior to sniping your target. How about something to fly your UAV. Check out Black Hawk Laptops at PanasonicToughbooks net. The Ultimate Refurbished Toughbook.

CHROME, Desert Tan or Black Special Ops, CF-29 is ManKind's Best Friend.
