Army chooses Alienware for new computers states that '[t]he Army's Aviation Mission Planning System [AMPS] Project Team is to use Alienware [Area-51m 7700 notebook] mobile systems and supporting peripherals for mission planning sessions.'
Default specs on the Alienware Area-51m 7700.
From the Aviation Mission Planning System page at globalsecurity.org, the Army will use the Alienware machines in its plan to push tactical Command and Control (C2), planning, management and rehearsal of rotary wing missions down to the company and aircrew levels, tasks which had been performed at aviation brigade and battalion levels. AMPS also supplies data to brigade and above levels to create the Common Tactical Picture, allowing the data to be displayed and manipulated, creating operational plans, and communicating battle plans, orders, and enemy and friendly sitreps.
