Good stuff. As I read more I found out that the state of the art PMAs, like the DataTrak for the F-22 or ENDA for the F-16, are quite expensive. Because of this, the government has been looking into comercial off the shelf computers (COTS) that are less capable than the expensive counterparts, but sufficient enough to do the job, not too mention a lot cheaper- the Panasonic "Toughbook" is an example of one. My readings tell me that COTS computers are in regular use with the C-5 and 117. Any thoughts or comments on this?
