    Galaxy Tab S2 becomes the first tablet to achieve USAF flight line certification

    Samsung Electronics has revealed that it has stuck a deal with the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to supply its latest Android-powered slate, the Galaxy Tab S2, to bases worldwide. This news comes just a couple of days after the Galaxy Tab S2 became the first tablet to achieve Trade Agreements Act (TAA) certification and was approved by the USAF for flight line use after passing a number of rigorous hardware and software tests.

    The USAF hopes that purchasing the Galaxy Tab S2 tablets will provide it with significant cost savings in the long run as it will be able to reduce the number of ruggedized laptops that are required to access over 2,000 technical orders, which enable maintenance personnel to launch, recover and maintain aircraft assets from anywhere in the world.

    It will be the USAF technicians that’ll spend the most time with Galaxy Tab S2 as it will provide them with a single point of access to digitized technical orders, manuals and parts databases, which should, in theory, make it easier than ever to troubleshoot aircraft repairs. The technicians will also be able to securely access the Air Force Enhanced Technical Information Management System (ETIMS) without having to use a physical terminal in their base.
