The DP3 can be used in rack-mounted, transit-case or fixed-console configurations and was designed specifically to operate in harsh military environments. It supports on-the-move missions for both wheeled and tracked ground vehicles and was designed to meet all of the stringent MIL-STD-810E environmental and MIL-STD-461C emissions requirements for U.S. Army common rugged computer system programs. Measuring 25 inches deep and weighing approximately 90 pounds, the compact size of the DP3 offers users the advanced computer features of both a high-end workstation and a high-capacity server in a single, lightweight, stand-alone unit that can be tailored to customers' specific applications. "This new product enhances DRS's long standing reputation as a leader in rugged computer products supporting important programs for critical military initiatives," said Russell Clark, DRS Laurel Technologies' DP3 development team leader. "Through these programs, DRS has delivered thousands of computers, display consoles and peripheral products operating today on front-line surface, subsurface, air and land platforms." The DP3 is based on Sun(R) UltraSPARC(TM) III Netra(TM) AX2200 motherboard technology and is powered by two 750 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. or two 900 MHz 64-bit UltraSPARC(TM) III processors, each with 8 MB of cache. The DP3 offers ease in customization for specific functions. In addition to the standard 10/100 Base T IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3 Fast Ethernet, the 40 MB Ultra SCSI and Narrow SCSI interfaces, the DP3 features four 12 MB USB ports, a 460.8 Kbaud async serial port, a 384 Kbaud synchronous serial port, a standard parallel port and two IEEE 1394 FireWire ports for a variety of I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output possibilities. The DP3 has an integrated, 1280 by 1024-pixel detachable 18.1-inch XGVA color active matrix display (hardware) active matrix display - A type of liquid crystal display where each display element (each pixel) includes an active component such as a transistor to maintain its state between scans.
