DRS Technologies, Inc., A Finmeccanica Company, announced that its Tactical Systems Group recently created its newest ARMOR offering, the Re-ARMOR trade-in and free recycling program.

As a leader in rugged mobile solutions, ARMOR provides computing systems that meet the stringent demands of mobile workforces around the world. By partnering with AnythingIT, a leader in information technology (IT) re-use & recycling, ARMOR has expanded its product offering to include asset trade-in, data destruction, and recycling for its customers.

"Re-ARMOR benefits our customers by removing many of the environmental issues associated with disposal of their old electronic equipment. It's a great incentive for new customers to join the ARMOR family," said Mike Sarrica, vice president and general manager for DRS Tactical Systems.

Re-ARMOR helps to manage the retirement of legacy equipment, which can put a strain on internal IT departments. The program provides trade-in options for virtually any type of IT product. The process is simple, concise and, in many cases, financially favorable as it can help to reduce a company's cost of ownership in technology hardware.

Beyond the earth-friendly advantages, Re-ARMOR provides the highest possible trade-in values on legacy equipment in a way that is compliant with all government and environmental regulations. The program meets the expanding federal and state regulations for data security by utilizing facilities that are certified by the Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Environmental Protection.
