Indian Navy Goes Shopping For Tablet Computers

haha those things never go for mass production and cannot be taken into account...........pls understand this

I was speaking about ones used in Missiles,INS,space launchers etc..

its the same thing.......we need industry to mass produce these things,,,,we have not a single chip making factory in india

U r right...
few year ago there was some move to make a semiconductor industry in India with AMD as partner... Madam ensured that this doesn't happen...
..why has our industry not invested in this sector.. videocon invested in crt factory , but why nobody moved into semiconductor.?? Is is because of cheap imports..??? or something else..let's discuss.

buddy ppl here will brand u anti national if u speak truth as the guy above was so desperately trying to prove that we do produce chips!!

read the news..............we are gonna try and set up a joint venture between intel and ibm for chip production with each of them pledging about 5 billion$ fdi

the only problem-----------chip making requires huge amount of pure water which is a problem in india atm

Intel,AMD are known to give backdoors to US govt.Why not develop something local.It might be slower than intel or amd ,but it will be better for national security.

Indian Navy Goes Shopping For Tablet Computers

The Tablet PC must have an Ethernet port & at least 4 USB ports.

The concept of a 'paperless office' is growing on the Indian Navy [IN]. In keeping with this, it has undertaken digitization of reference documents & drawings, needed while carrying out maintenance tasks on its aircraft's of its Air Arm. It now seeks to acquire a suitable hardware solution that Naval maintainers can use for accessing these documents to carrying out their task. It recently issued an 'Expression of Interest' for making such a purchase.

Users of this tablet PC would be able to receive the required documentation onto the device by connecting it to a central Server via a Ethernet Cable - no Wi-Fi for this. Easier to secure a wired-only WAN. It might appear a little strange for the Navy to demand a device powered by a x86-64 architecture processor, running a version of the Windows Operating Systems. However, a look through the catalogue of offerings of Tablet computers meant for industrial applications would reveal that their specifications are overwhelmingly in line with what the IN is asking for. Enterprise Application Software [EAS] used in industries long antedated the introduction of the Android OS fork, and most were thus coded to run in a Microsoft-created environment, including the older Windows 7, that wasn't quite optimised for the touch interface. What does attract some attention is the requirement for upwards of 4 USB ports in the device, as much as that in a conventional desktop PC. In the quick search done before posting, one couldn't locate a tablet with that many. Not surprisingly, the Navy is soliciting response for the "development of e-Reader Tablet (e-RT)". It would also likely indicate plans for subsequent utility as something more than an e-Reader.

Tablet PCs first found large-scale application, unsurprisingly, with the U.S Military. The US Air Force, for example, were one of the early adopters of this computing form factor, reportedly using Microsoft Tablet PC running Windows XP to help maintain & repair their aircraft since around 2001/2002. Installed with the client-side of a Product Lifecycle Management [PLM] software, it allowed operators to wirelessly access a centralised server to retrieve the required digital knowledgebase, including process workflow, carry out remote collaboration, visualise processes before performing it, conveniently updating generated data for later retrieval or analysis, among other functions. Recently it even took a decision to begin use of Tablets to store & access mission-specific data that flight crew have till now been carrying as paper documents, lots of it.

It remains to be seen to what extent is the tablet going to feature in the Indian Navy's present scheme of things. One gets an impression that the organisation intends to test the waters, thus adopting it for a limited application, that of accessing maintenance-related documents. Increasing familiarity with the platform, through use, should see it progressively getting incorporated for additional tasks. The hardware specified does allow comfortable room for more. The ultimate aim would be to attain a completely paperless approach to functioning, at some point in the future, hopefully the near future.

windows 7.Just great .Windows and its software provide backdoor to Prism NSA. Better to go for linux.

...Why do we have to depend upon the US for semiconductor...Tiwan is a good source for them too.
Most, if not all, of the semiconductor industry in china is owned by Tiwan...
..All we need is a good ecosystem to devel these industry here..
Few years ago I read that intel's new chips were developed in India...!!!!
..and yet we are importing all our chip ...& chip boards.
even Thailand have decent computer perepheral industry...
...We gotta move...

PACPAD: An Android Tablet by Pakistan Aeronautical Complex

You might have already heard by now. Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) has manufactured the first Android tablet in Pakistan – the PACPAD 1. Not just this product, Pakistan’s air force complex has also launched their own version of a netbook and an e-book reader.
PACPAD is a joint venture between PAC and Chinese manufacturers to boost the local economy and provide low-cost solutions to consumers. These tablets are manufactured at an air force base in Kamra in northern Pakistan.

The product has received mixed reviews. Apart from appreciations to PAC on launching a local product, many have objected on why is PAC making consumer electronics where as it should be defending our air spaces.
We haven’t tried out the PACPAD yet, so can’t really comment on the performance and usability of the tablet. Hoping if Pakistan Air Force would send us a unit so we can bring you videos and more photos of this Android tablet!
PACPAD 1 Price and Specifications
PACPAD 1 costs Rs. 15,500 ($170) and runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. A complete specifications list can be found below:

256 mb ram is far too low............sorry

 

[Fattyacids]

Indian Navy should ask DRDO to make the tablet.

 

[Skull and Bones]

There are chips and microprocessors that have been developed for special applications like defence,missile guidance and for scientific applications - even for Large Hadron Collider - that was developed in India.

Those are not chips, those are MEMs.

 

[livingdead]

for normal officework and a bit of angry bird, nexus is more than enough.. why do they need this spec.

 

[gslv mk3]

Those are not chips, those are MEMs.

Sorry,can you elaborate??

What happened to the lame Akash? Why can't Indian Navy use it?
