Lockheed Martin Chooses ToughDisk^® for Maritime Patrol Aircraft.
Here's Why:

Lockheed Martin needed a complete rugged data storage solution for its system software and data on Coast Guard airplanes. The Tier 1 U.S. defense contractor turned to Formation.

“Formation offered us the best technical solution for the value,” said Jim Kalb, Program Manager, Lockheed Martin. “We needed a data storage solution that performs reliably in harsh environmental conditions. We selected ToughDisk because it can handle our aggressive warm-up requirements and the extreme high and low temperatures of this application.”

Formation combined its ToughDisk® 3500 Rugged Hard Disk with disk drive carriers and a 4U chassis to meet their hot-swap and extreme environmental requirements. Formation reduced the disk drive warm-up time and worked with the chassis vendor to make modifications in the chassis to meet program needs. Click here to read more. 

Leverage Formation's field-proven expertise for your application. More than hard drives, Formation helps you engineer complete rugged data storage solutions.

ToughDisk performs reliably in extreme altitude, temperatures, and humidity and withstands shock, vibration and dust conditions - at a significantly lower cost than solid state drives.
