Introduction
Understanding the risks of using commercial off-the shelf (COTS) electronic components, specifically laptop computers, in a non-commercial environment is critical to designers of military systems.

During operation in this environment, COTS may be exposed to low atmospheric pressure and may experience low temperatures and humidity.
