AIS Presents Rugged LCDs and Mobile Systems for the Military

Military and marine applications have their own standards for what a fitting display and computing product is, and AIS did its best to meet those rigorous demands when it built the new collection of ruggedized LCDs.

American Industrial Systems Inc., a certified supplier and manufacturer of military & marine grade embedded computing solutions, has completed its newest set of products.

This means that, in addition to performance and image quality, the company has to make sure its inventions feature a high endurance.

This is because the work environments they end up in aren't always the most friendly towards technology.

That being said, what AIS now offers is two new sets of LCD displays, one composed of marine flat panels and another made up of rugged rackmount models.

The former are designed for easy deployment in marine bridges, machinery spaces, pump rooms, open decks and control rooms.

As such, they are compliant with the DNV Certification, IEC60945 (for maritime navigation and radio-communication equipment) and the IACS-E10 classification for electronic installations.

Meanwhile, the latter collection are displays measuring 20 inches in diagonal and compliant with the MIL-STD-810G environmental engineering standard.

They are also capable of withstanding shock, vibrations, humidity, extreme temperatures and radiation, making them also compatible with the MIL-461F EMI/EMC specification.

They come with native resolutions of 1,600 x 1,200 pixels and should have high clarity, color sharpness and accuracy fitting for ground, airborne and naval deployments.

AIS has also developed ergonomically-designed but still rugged PDAs and tablets, all of them durable, light and featuring high-brightness and transflective technology on their screens, among other things. This means they will be visible even under direct sunlight, AIS claims.

Finally, the mobile systems have programmable buttons, quick navigation (thanks to the HMI touch screen technology) plus low-heat CPU designs and COTS sealed enclosures (cast aluminum and magnesium that can withstand even EMI-burst weaponry).
