AVDU
10.5″- 21.5″
Curtiss-Wrights AVDU range of rugged mission displays offers a unique combination of new technology, including optically-bonded glass and dual mode NVIS-compatible LED backlighting and a rich feature set including a highly flexible video input capability and touchscreen over USB support.
Enhanced software features enable system configuration flexibility and touchscreen capabilities that fulfill a wide range of mission requirements.
The AVDU is currently available in five display sizes and resolutions to address a wide variety of applications on ground, airborne and naval platforms. Fully qualified to established environmental standards, the displays can be used in standalone mode, where multiple video input capability can be used to present a number of configurable operator views, or as part of a Curtiss-Wright video management system (VMS) alongside video distribution switches and recorders.
SVDU
7″ – 21.5″
Curtiss-Wrights SVDU range of rugged mission displays offers a unique combination of new technology, including optically-bonded glass, dual mode NVIS-compatible LED backlighting, and full touchscreen operation. Supporting a single DVI input and a USB touchscreen the SVDU range is the ideal companion to a mission computer.
The SVDU mission displays are currently available in six display sizes and resolutions, and two types of touchscreen panels, to address a wide variety of applications on ground, airborne and naval platforms. All the displays are fully qualified to established environmental standards.
The displays feature a DVI video input and USB interface on a highly rugged 38999 connector to provide a secure connection even in highvibration environments, with the added benefits of environmental protection offered by this type of connector.
The newest display in the SVDU range (SVDU-M) is a 7 inch display with a projected capacitive (PCAP) multi-touch panel. PCAP multipoint touchscreen technology enables operators to use familiar smartphone interface techniques to annotate, draw and manipulate screen images. In contrast, traditional resistive touch screens are only able to respond to the touch of a single finger.
GVDU
The GVDU range is developed with ground vehicle requirements and specifically the Generic Vehicle Architecture (GVA) standard, in mind. The GVDU range of displays combine military rugged design, in a size, weight and power (SWaP) optimised display with market-leading performance and a rich, exible set of features including GVA programmable bezel buttons and video over Ethernet capability based on the MODUK DEF-STAN 00-82.
The GVDU range will be available in 10.4, 12.1 and 15.6. Larger sizes (17 and 21.5 for example) may be available upon request. All displays are fully qualified to established military environmental standards and can be connected to a wide variety of video sources.
GVDU displays offer a unique combination of new technology, including optically-bonded glass for perfect anytime readability, as well as full touchscreen operation based on a unique projected capacitive touchscreen that offers multi-touch as well as gloved and wet operation.
An internal embedded processor enables the displays to provide an enhanced set of interfaces including Ethernet, USB, RS-232/RS-422 and GPIO. The internal processor provides DEF-STAN 00-82 video over Ethernet capability, graphics input to the displays, and receives all touchscreen and bezel button operations. The processor may be used to implement a map display, function as a mission computer or decompress and display network video, amongst many other possibilities.
RVDU
As modern land vehicles increasingly depend on the proliferation of cameras mounted on the vehicle to provide 360 degree situational awareness, the need for low cost, size, weight, and power optimised, rugged displays is on the rise. Similar to the latest cars on the market, ground vehicles benefit from having an operator display that shows them whats behind them while reversing. Displays for such applications dont require the latest in display technology or processing, but do need to maintain reliability in the harsh environmental conditions of the battlefield.
The Rugged Video Display Unit (RVDU) is a SWaP optimised and rugged display designed for non-mission critical applications such as vehicle reversing and equipment monitoring.
The 7 inch, 800 x 480 pixel, widescreen display has two CVBS (composite video) inputs and two digital inputs. Ambient light sensors on the RVDU automatically change the screen brightness to the optimal setting for visibility in any light conditions, while the LED backlight provides a clear, crisp picture. A CAN bus control interface is provided for seamless software upgrades and for interfacing with Curtiss-Wright video management solutions such as those in the Rugged Video Gateway (RVG) product line. Environmentally qualified to military standards, the RVDU is a fully sealed unit and is IP65 rated which eliminates the risk of sand or water ingress over the life of the display. With buttons on the front that enable the operator to control screen brightness, select the video input and illuminate the keys for night mode, the RVDU provides a low cost solution for ground vehicle video applications with one or two cameras.
