Visual systems and display units for armoured vehicles
Man-machine interface
Highly specialised utility vehicles require specialised man-machine interfaces at the various workstations in a vehicle to process highly complex tasks. KNDS Deutschland Mission Electronics develops different solutions depending on the specific application, installation location and ergonomic requirements. These range from remote system control units, remote displays and customer-specific visual display units to special input systems.
Display systems with all-round potential
The range of functionalities here extends from monitoring and controlling central vehicle functions to displaying video streams in combination with data from the battle management system to the safety-critical system for emergency control of primary vehicle functions.
Performance overview:
- Resolution up to full HD
- Sunlight-readable
- Suitable for safety-critical facilities
- Low latency video display
- Readable under extreme viewing angles
- Capacitive multi-touch or resistive single-touch
