Display inputs can be configured to RS-170 black/white and color video, analog input (e.g. VGA, sync on green, etc.), and digital input (LVDS, LDI).

A full range of extreme environmental qualification is available, such as operating temperatures from -47°C to +71°C, and support for products extends to repair services, full qualification, testing, and product and program life cycle management.

MISSION-PROVEN COMPLETE RUGGED DISPLAY AND RUGGED COMPUTER CAPABILITIES

GD Canada products have been mission-proven for more than 20 years to provide reliability and performance and to save costs in platforms such as the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the Abrams M1A2 SEP, AAAV (now EFV), the Blackhawk helicopter, the NATO/AWACS, the Trident submarine, and Stryker.

The range of standard products is augmented by complete rugged display and rugged computer customization capabilities, vetronics integration capabilities, airborne and naval console system and subsystem capabilities, based on military-proven components and battle-proven experience.

1041AM RUGGED MILITARY DISPLAY

The 1041AM rugged military display is a 10.4in diagonal multifunction display, and can switch between two channels of RS-170 video input and two channels of analog (VGA) input.

A series of programmable buttons are lined up on either side of the rugged military display - these can be used to provide commands to other system components, such as a rugged computer, a fire control system, a sensor pan and tilt, or any other device that can interpret a serial command string.

This rugged military display is conduction-cooled, fully sealed and immersible, and is built on the technology used in the US Army's Bradley Fighting Vehicle common display.

840AMS DIGITAL SMART DISPLAYS

The 840AMS is an 8.4in diagonal smart display family that provides a full military rugged computer and display in a compact package. With optional touchscreen or built-in bezel buttons, this can be used as a control unit or as a complete computer, with the addition of a keyboard and pointing device.

2010AM DIAGONAL LARGE SCREEN DISPLAY

The 2010AM 20.1in diagonal display is part of the GD Canada family of large screen displays, which includes SXGA and UXGA models. This family includes displays that are used on P-3 aircraft and on the NATO/AWACS aircraft.
