General InformationGeneral Information

Current computer consoles use significant computer hardware within an enclosure presented in front Current computer consoles use significant computer hardware within an enclosure presented in front of the operator, which must be environmentally protected and maintained. Specifically in a military of the operator, which must be environmentally protected and maintained. Specifically in a military application, a less cumbersome method of interface is needed. Development of a versatile and application, a less cumbersome method of interface is needed. Development of a versatile and modular workstation mounted to a chair is the solution to this problem, allowing greater freedom of modular workstation mounted to a chair is the solution to this problem, allowing greater freedom of movement while maintaining functionality and durability. An operational prototype will be developed movement while maintaining functionality and durability. An operational prototype will be developed to demonstrate a feasible and reliable solution.to demonstrate a feasible and reliable solution.
