Serviceable in the field, without a soldering iron.
Ruggedisation that survives a range day is not the same as ruggedisation that survives a deployment. RIKIS® is engineered against MIL-STD-810G test methods and designed so an operator can bring a unit back into service without returning it to a workshop.
