Objective
The objective is to design, build, and test an immersion tank to be used by Talla-Tech in order to test their ruggedized communication systems to military specifications. The units being tested must be submersed in approximately 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. The tests have to follow strict military standards, given in the MIL-STD-810F regulations.

Introduction
Talla-Tech, a military focused communications company, needs an immersion tank to test their ruggedized computer products. Based in Tallahassee, FL, Talla-Tech is the leading supplier of tactical handheld computers to the US Military. Their ruggedized units include the SINCGARS radio system, the Tacter-31 multi-function computer, and RPDAs. In order to be deemed ruggedized, the units must be able to withstand two tests - a drop test from specified heights and a water immersion test. Last year’s senior design team concentrated on building a drop-test station to drop the units from different heights at different angles. Talla-Tech has now requested a system to perform the water immersion test.
