Curtiss-Wright introduces SVDU1800 mission display
Curtiss-Wright has announced the introduction of its SVDU1800 7-inch rugged LCD mission display, designed for use in ground vehicle environments, as well as helicopter and fixed-wing airborne surveillance and search and rescue missions.
The SWAP-optimised SVDU1800 has a native resolution of 1920x1080 and is available with an optional inbuilt embedded Intel processor.
The mission display is suitable for observers and drivers on ground vehicle platforms and for pilots, co-pilots and other crewmembers on airborne platforms. It features optically bonded construction and a touchscreen interface. It also has inbuilt support for night vision goggle viewing, which is provided by dual-LED backlighting.
The SVDU1800 can be used in a standalone configuration or integrated with other Curtiss-Wright video products. The optional embedded processing capability enables the system integrator to select from a range of processor and memory options, and supports the Windows, Linux and VxWorks operating systems.
An inbuilt flash storage can be used to host customer-developed software, and the display can run an X Windows server to support remote graphics applications via its Ethernet connection.
Lynn Bamford, senior vice president and general manager, defence solutions division, Curtiss-Wright, said: 'This new high quality HD 7-inch mission display adds high reliability and a full feature set as well as optional embedded processing to reduce size, weight and power.
'It provides an ideal solution for customers who are looking for a small rugged touchscreen display without compromising performance.'
