Specifically in a military application, a less cumbersome method of maintained. Specifically in a military application, a less cumbersome method of interface is needed. Development of a versatile and modular workstation mounted to a interface is needed. Development of a versatile and modular workstation mounted to a chair is the solution to this problem, allowing greater freedom of movement while chair is the solution to this problem, allowing greater freedom of movement while maintaining functionality and durability. An operational prototype will be developed maintaining functionality and durability. An operational prototype will be developed to demonstrate a feasible and reliable solution. to demonstrate a feasible and reliable solution.
