Why SYNAPSE-P
A TAK server usually lives somewhere you aren't, and the screen you watch it on is a separate machine. SYNAPSE-P is ^both in one chassis^: the ^full TAK OS^ capability set on a fully rugged laptop, with ^offline AI workflows^ running onboard and ^military-grade connectors^ where your cabling needs them. Open the lid and the server is up — ^uplink or no uplink^.
DDR5 memory, maximum
Nits — sunlight-readable display
Dual-battery runtime, OEM benchmark

Inside the machine
TAK OS Overwatch · 14-inch display
01 / Server + workstation
TAK OS runs onboard as a self-hosted TAK Server, and the TAK OS console is open on the display in front of you. Tracking, mapping, secure team comms, video, and drone feeds — the complete capability set, served and operated from the same chassis. ATAK, WinTAK, and iTAK clients connect to it like any TAK Server.
02 / Offline AI
An Intel Core Ultra processor with a built-in NPU runs AI workloads on the machine itself. Step up to the optional NVIDIA RTX A500 and as much as 64 GB of memory for heavier models. Your data, your models, and your results stay on the laptop — no cloud account, no connection required.
03 / MIL components
The expansion bay takes a row of military-grade circular connectors, so power, network, and serial lines lock in the same way the rest of your kit does. RF antenna pass-through for GPS, cellular, and Wi-Fi, two RS-232 serial ports, and two gigabit Ethernet ports come along. We scope the pinout with you when we quote.
04 / Data custody
Two NVMe SSDs slide out in seconds with no tools, so the data can go in a safe while the laptop stays on the table. Add a third drive or a RAID 0/1/5/10 expansion for mission and map storage. TPM 2.0, a smart card reader, and stealth and night-vision modes are built in.
Built on a certified platform
SYNAPSE-P is built on the Durabook Z14I, which its manufacturer certifies to MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461G, and IP66, with a six-foot drop rating and a magnesium-alloy chassis. It works from −29 °C to 63 °C and stays readable in direct sun.

Both run TAK OS onboard with no cloud dependency. SYNAPSE-L is the drop-and-go node that brings its own network and uplink. SYNAPSE-P adds the operator seat, heavier compute for offline AI, and military-grade connectors.

Both run TAK OS onboard as a self-hosted TAK Server. SYNAPSE-L is a server node in a carry-on case that also brings the team's WiFi network and 5G / satellite uplink. SYNAPSE-P is a fully rugged laptop: the server plus a full operator workstation — display, keyboard, heavier compute for offline AI, and military-grade connector options. Many teams run one of each.
The same TAK OS you'd otherwise reach in the cloud, running locally on the laptop: team tracking, mapping, secure team comms, video, and drone feeds, with ATAK, WinTAK, and iTAK clients connecting directly. Nothing is a lite version, and none of it needs an internet connection.
AI workloads that run entirely on the machine. The Intel Core Ultra processor includes a dedicated NPU, and you can configure an optional NVIDIA RTX A500 and up to 64 GB of memory for larger models. Nothing is sent to a cloud service. Tell us what you want the AI to do and we'll size the configuration for it when we quote.
The Z14I platform accepts an expansion box with military-grade circular connectors in place of consumer ports, plus RF antenna pass-through for GPS, cellular, and Wi-Fi. It also has two RS-232/422/485 serial ports and two gigabit Ethernet ports for radios and legacy gear. Connector types and pinouts are scoped to your cabling during quoting.
Yes. The TAK server runs locally, map layers are pre-loaded, and the AI runs on the machine. An uplink adds reach — optional 4G LTE or 5G is available — but it is never required for the local picture.
Over your network: plug SYNAPSE-P into a switch or router on one of its two gigabit Ethernet ports, or join it to an existing Wi-Fi network, and clients connect to it like any TAK Server. If you need it to bring the field network and uplink too, pair it with a SYNAPSE-L or a Global-Link 5G.
The ratings belong to the base platform. Durabook certifies the Z14I to MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461G, and IP66, with a six-foot drop rating, a magnesium-alloy chassis, and an operating range of −29 °C to 63 °C. Ask us how a specific expansion option affects them for your build.
Durabook's benchmark is up to 12.5 hours on the main battery and 21.5 hours with the second battery fitted. Running a server and AI workloads draws more than that benchmark, so plan on less. Batteries are quick-release, and the optional bridge battery lets you swap them without shutting down.
