Barco introduces state-of-the-art DPM-3 rugged computer
Barco, a leader in display and visualization solutions, will launch the DPM-3, its newest rugged computing solution, together with its MR series for audio and video recording at the AUSA exhibition in Washington. Barco's DPM-3 computer and MR mission recorders are fully optimized and MIL-qualified rugged solutions, developed to survive in extremely harsh environments.
Barco's DPM-3 computer is used for on-the-move operations and in space-constrained areas of the utility vehicle, helicopter or ground army vehicle. The highly compact DPM-3 features the latest graphics and computing power and is fully MIL-qualified. Both the DPM-3 computer and the MR mission recorder series are enhancements of previous rugged solutions already proven in military applications worldwide.
The DPM-3 rugged computer is the most compact computer available, meeting SWAP-C (Size, Weight, Power and Cost) requirements and allowing easy integration into vehicles. Its modular and open architecture offers the possibility to create a complete customized solution. It easily connects to a wide range of sensors and allows meticulous information processing. The DPM-3 rugged computer features advanced video processing - including image fusion, image warping and motion detection - and offers high resolution video streaming functionality for improved situational awareness.
Barco's solid mission recorder (MR) series has been developed as data recording becomes increasingly important across a whole range of military platforms. Barco's MR-100-E for naval applications and MR-200-E for land-based and airborne applications are MIL-qualified superior stand-alone recorders which offer functionality to capture, archive, retrieve and manage various types of audio and video data.
Patrick Sauvaget and Johan Devos, Product Managers Defense, add: "Recording has become essential to many critical applications and mission requirements. It can be used for e.g. military mission debriefing, incident investigation and system training. Combined with Barco's DPM-3 rugged computer and its light-readable 10-inch TX-126 display, Barco will be offering the most reliable mission-critical solution for vehicle operations in harsh environments."
