National Instruments CompactRIO is one of the most rugged and durable systems on the market. It is able to withstand the demands of the harshest environments. To prove the extreme durability, NI put CompactRIO to the test in some unusual applications.
See the true durability and flexibility of the CompactRIO platform with your own eyes:

CompactRIO Drop Test
CompactRIO is dropped from the top of an eight-story building, with a resultant acceleration peak of 200.2 g. The CompactRIO system logs three accelerometers locally and simultaneously passes the data to a host computer on the ground via Ethernet.
CompactRIO Controls Rocket Launch
CompactRIO is placed inside a 9 ft rocket and controls the roll, pitch, yaw, and stage deployment.
CompactRIO Goes Skydiving
CompactRIO is used to record roll, pitch, yaw, XYZ acceleration, air pressure, GPS position, and altitude. The data is acquired at 60 S/s using a custom gyroscope module and two cRIO-9215 simultaneous sampling analog input modules.
