QUANTICO, VA.—September 13, 2016 – (Booth 3430) – Getac will exhibit its complete line of fully rugged and ultra-rugged notebook computers, tablets and convertibles at the annual Modern Day Marine expo to be held at the Quantico Marine Corps Base in Quantico, VA. from September 27-29, 2016. Military-certified to withstand extreme temperatures, dust, intense rain and drops, the next generation Getac B300 ultra-rugged notebook, V110 fully rugged convertible and F110 tablet represent Getac’s most rugged – and most popular—mobile computing solutions in their respective classes.
In addition to having its line of rugged and ultra-rugged computing solutions on display during Modern Day Marine, professional MMA fighter (UFC) Ashlee Evans-Smith will bring her own brand of rugged to Getac’s booth on Wednesday, September 28 where she will sign autographs and take photos with attendees. A member of the women’s Bantamweight division, Ashlee is currently ranked 13th in the world and achieved her third TKO on September 3rd in Hamburg, Germany.
The Getac B300 ultra-rugged notebook delivers maximum performance and comprehensive security for the most extreme, mission-critical environments. Ideal for military personnel, law enforcement and field technicians, the B300 is Getac’s most rugged laptop, backed by the industry’s best five-year, bumper-to-bumper warranty.

Both are redesigned to deliver bulletproof security, best-in-class performance and a full-size touch screen housed in a thin and light form factor. Couple that with a fully rugged design that survives drops, intense rain, heat, cold and dust, and you have the perfect compact touch tablet for pros working in tight spaces and an ideal convertible for others who sometimes need a full-size keyboard.

Visitors to this year’s Modern Day Marine Show in Quantico (27-29Th September) will be able to see innovations like floating body armour, ballistic protective underwear and terrorist vessel-disabling launchers when they drop by BCB International’s booth (2801).
For over 160 years, BCB International Ltd have been developing products designed to help our Armed Forces operate and survive in extreme situations.
As their Managing Director, Andrew Howell, explained they will have on display a number of proven innovations which will be of interest to Marines: “Our mission here at BCB International has always been to design, manufacture and supply life-saving equipment for our brave servicemen and women who are out there every day putting their lives at risk for our defence and security.
“We will be exhibiting three core products which were designed to maximize the operational performance and survivability of Marines. The first one is a self-inflating body armour which automatically inflates within seconds of being immersed in water and positions the wearer on his/her back to keep their airways clear. It also boasts a removable lifejacket which can be taken off if an operation needs to be pursued on land.
“One of the things a soldier fears the most during combat operations, is being maimed by roadside bombs, better known as IEDs (improvised explosive devices). BCB are the pioneers of protective under-garments, dubbed ‘Blast Boxers’. We will be displaying our range of ‘Blast Boxers’ on our stand. Made from comfortable and ballistic materials including Kevlar, they are worn instead of underwear and help to protect a soldier’s groin area, through which key arteries run, against small fragments projected in an IED explosion.
“Our ports, docks and rivers are vulnerable to piracy, acts of terrorism and narcotics trafficking. Provided in boat-mounted and handheld formats, our non-lethal fast boat stopping systems ingeniously use compressed air and a range of specialized projectiles to intercept vessels weighing up to 3 tonnes and rigid inflatable boats travelling at a speed of 45 knots in seconds. More and more law enforcement authorities are using our boat stopping systems to protect our coastal waters and waterways.
“We look forward to discussing the enormous benefits of our equipment to visitors at the Show.”
Another interesting item I saw in the Quantico Tactical booth was this scope cap insert from Vortex Optics. These Dope Disks were announced awhile ago but I hadn’t seen any in the wild. They are designed to fit into the Vortex Defender Flip Caps which are offered in 44mm, 50mm and 56mm so they will fit a wide variety of optics. The Defender Flip Caps have two stop positions; 45 and 90 degrees. What’s really cool is that the removable Dope Disks can be custom ordered for different ammunition.
This and other weapon accessories are available via Quantico Tactical.
