ABSTRACT:
A miniaturized manportable tactical workstation that has a single power supply that provides power for all of the electronic components thereof. The portable workstation includes a housing having a rotatable top cover that houses a display panel. The top cover is opened to expose a screen of the display panel. The housing encloses a hard drive receiver into which a removable hard drive is inserted. A two-slot VME processor box is disposed in the housing and receives a VME processor card that is slid into the VME processor box from one side of the workstation. An air filter and a fan are disposed in the housing and draw air through the housing to cool the electronic components of the workstation. A keyboard is provided that is exposed to a user when the top cover is opened to expose the display screen. The single power supply provides supply voltages and timing signals to the display panel, the keyboard, the VME processor card, the hard drive, and the fan. The use of a single power supply reduces the size and weight of the workstation and thus provides a miniaturized tactical workstation that is portable and that may be easily carried by an operator in tactical military situations.
