Rugged, Low-Cost Mission Display with Embedded Intel PC Expands Mission Display Offerings from Curtiss-Wright

Eletter Product

The new 10.4" PVDU2600 supports high brightness, day/night viewing and customizable touchscreen keys with optional built-in Intel® processor.

Today's modern tactical ground vehicle requires advanced display technology for optimal performance. Drivers, commanders and other crew members need access to the images supplied by multiple external sensors as well as video generated internally by vehicle instrumentation or mission computers, on rugged displays that are viewable under any condition. Many ground vehicles also require high-performance embedded computing capabilities to run applications such as streamed video decompression, moving map generators and mission processing software. However, ground vehicles typically impose significant space constraints on mission equipment and are more sensitive to the cost of such equipment than other platforms.

Curtiss-Wright's new 10.4" rugged mission display addresses the fundamental need to optimize size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) for ground applications. It offers a winning combination of a dual-mode high-brightness daylight/night vision LCD, a sensitive touchscreen that allows the operator to interact with the application software, a rich set of interfaces including Ethernet, GPIO, USB and serial lines, and a compact overall assembly that minimizes the footprint of the installed unit. The provision of display and processing functions in a single unit also yields enhanced reliability and reduces inter-unit cabling cost and complexity.
