Have you ever wondered what makes a monitor truly “rugged”? Monitors used in defense and aerospace applications must meet the rigorous design specifications and testing requirements put in place by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure the LCD monitor can survive in the extreme environment where it is deployed. EIZO is conducting the MIL-DTL-901E Lightweight Hammer Shock Test: Grade A, Class I.
During the first week of April, EIZO Rugged Solutions exhibited at the Navy League’s, Sea-Air-Space global maritime exposition at National Harbor, Maryland. Sea-Air-Space is a three-day, international event that featured live exhibits of Unmanned Surface Vehicles, tactical ISR boats, flight simulators, Virtual Reality (VR) systems, and included an outdoor exhibit with a 88-ft high-speed vessel.
Announced at GTC, the most recent GPU technology enabled for the defense and aerospace market is the NVIDIA Ampere Architecture, the second generation of the NVIDIA RTX platform.
As an industry-wide “open systems” initiative is spreading its way into existing and current defense system designs, military OEM contractors and system integrators are shifting design practices to align with the new standards.
Military personnel use displays for a range of applications – some critical and others non-critical. Mission Displays are often used in harsh environments with extended temperatures and high humidity and also in situations with a lot of shock and vibration.
Military-grade monitors must display clear visual data so operators can make accurate decisions. Exposure to intense sunlight and freezing temperatures threaten the performance of conventional LCD monitors. Optical bonding strengthens the LCD panel, boosts screen readability, and provides increased situational awareness for missions.
As the demand for signal intelligence, artificial intelligence, and unmanned systems increases, the need for smaller, faster, and more compatible technology skyrockets as data becomes the number one tool within the defense market.
As time progresses, we find that there are more advancements involving artificial intelligence (AI) technology than we could have ever imagined, and it’s clear that AI is making an impact across industries worldwide. After years of continuous research and development, AI and Deep Learning (DL) models have become efficient and accurate enough to be used as core components of most modern-day data processing solutions across land, sea, air, and space.
The new Condor GR4 PCI Express is a rugged, 3G-SDI video capture and GPGPU processor. It is the industry’s first rugged PCI Express (PCIe) graphics/GPGPU card with four 3G-SDI (Serial Digital Interface standard suitable for 1080p video up to 60fps, or 1080p60) inputs and outputs.
As video technology continues to evolve to newer digital formats and high definition video transitions into 4K and 8K resolution, video compression (or video encoding) remains an essential technology for applications such as digital television, disk formats like DVD and Blu-Ray, mobile TV, video conferencing, internet video streaming, and video transmission for military and commercial security and ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) systems.
EIZO Rugged Solutions is a pioneer in providing video, graphics, encoding, and recording solutions for over three decades.
