Combat Displays Delivers 20" Display to Customer

Annapolis, MD (October 10, 2011)

Combat Displays Inc. (CDI) announced the delivery of two pre-production 20" shipboard displays for follow-on testing by its customer. After completing a successful laboratory test phase, which included a complete profile of Military Standard environmental and electromagnetic simulation testing, all planned updates were incorporated into the 20" display units prior to delivery.

The CDI 20" environmentally sealed display is the company's product entry into the replacement display market for all displays that fit into a standard military 19" rack mount. It offers the largest 4:3 viewable screen format that is able to be mounted within the 19" rack rails. The test phase began in early 2011 and conformed to United States Military Standard, MIL-STD-810D, Department of Defense Test Method Standard for Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests for sheltered shipboard equipment. The environmental test plan included nine different tests that included pressure, temperature, vibration, shock, humidity and water drip. The GRADE A shock certification is a validation of the design architecture common to CDI displays. The electromagnetic testing complied with MIL STD-461D and covered testing for radiated emissions and radiated susceptibility.

"I credit the technical expertise of our engineering team who understand the stringent military requirements and are able to design to those specs. Our displays are unlike all other modern displays in use in the military today. Current displays are all built around commercial LCD panels that are then ruggedized. That "after market" ruggedization effort adds weight and complexity to a fragile consumer electronics product in an attempt to lengthen its survival in the harsh military operating environment. Our displays are designed from the core technology up…. the ground up if you will… as military displays, so they not only perform better in the environment for which they were designed, but use less power and throw off less heat which results in a higher Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)."
