KEEP DEVICES SHIELDED AND LIVE During Transport From Seizure to Data Extraction
The Mission Darkness™ Deploy Kit 5 solves multiple problems for forensics investigators and labs. The Deploy Kit 5 stands out from our other forensic enclosures because of its portability, making transferring devices and evidence from the field to the lab seamless. The durable hard protective travel case ensures all enclosed cell phones and tablets are charged and shielded. The portable charging feature is designed to prevent lockout mode, reduce the amount of time needed to break a passcode, and keep the device charged while transferred to a forensic lab. Once the kit arrives, unlocking tools like GrayKey, Cellebrite, Magnet, XRY, BlackBag, and Oxygen can be used to extract the data off the devices.
The Deploy Kit case designed by SKB is constructed with an ultra high-strength polypropylene copolymer resin, featuring a gasket-sealed, water and dust tight, submersible design (MIL-STD 810G) that is resistant to corrosion and impact damage. It includes five fully equipped compartments with all necessary charging components and phone size Window Charge & Shield Faraday Bags to charge up to five devices at the same time. An included backup battery can be charged simultaneously and switched out to provide an undisturbed power supply. Each cable set includes a universal angle USB A/M to A/M extension cable plus a variety of popular cable tips: lightning, micro USB, and USB-C. Easily change cable tips inside the compartment to connect to the compatible device. Each compartment can accommodate either phone or small tablets and cable sets.
*The Vigilant Volt Forensic Data Preserving Power Banks included continuously charge devices once they reach 100% power. This is an important feature for digital forensics use, ensuring that the device stays charged. Standard power banks stop outputting power when they detect that the device plugged into them is fully charged.
The device connects to power through the Charge & Shield Faraday Bag's filter and USB A/M to A/M cable
