For the tower escape, the walkthrough says to take the parachute from the wooden table by the white door at Base Camp and parachute away when the tower collapses. It does not establish the parachute as a requirement for picking up the tablet.
What the bomb drone control tablet unlocks
Gamer.org's Alex Wirden calls the item the Drone Control Pad and reports that it opens Drone Chests around Stranded. These green supply containers can hold Bomb Drones; the guide also points to Drone Chests around the SAM Site statue.
Starting with the Jamming Station can give you bomb drones for later encounters; this target order is optional.
Other doors or containers unlocked by the tablet: To be confirmed. The reported unlock applies to Drone Chests, not every supply crate or locked door.
