Navy Signs EIZO for Aircraft Carrier ATC Monitors
The U.S. Navy has contracted EIZO Rugged Solutions to supply its Talon RGD2802 liquid-crystal-display (LCD) monitor for integration into the AN/SYY-1 air-traffic-control (ATC) systems onboard naval aircraft carriers. The next-generation ATC system enhances radar signal analysis, identify-friend-or-foe (IFF) processing, and tracking of multiple-sensor systems during air operations.
The 28-in.-wide, 2048- × 2048-pixel Talon RGD2802 monitors are a standard component of naval ATC and Precision Approach Landing Systems (PALS), making it possible to view complete radar sweeps and high-density target data.
The RGD2802, which meets applicable MIL-STD regulations, was selected for its ruggedness and high reliability. This includes passing the MIL-STD-461G electromagnetic-compatibility (EMC) test for delivering high-performance levels in environments crowded by electromagnetic (EM) sources capable of causing electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Ron Farine, vice president of sales & business development at EIZO, explained, “The selection of our Talon RGD2802 monitor for the AN/SYY-1 systems underscores EIZO’s commitment to supporting the U.S. Navy with highly dependable, mission-ready technology.”
He added, “Our rugged 2k × 2k monitors are engineered to meet the demanding operational environments of naval platforms, ensuring operators have the situational awareness and precision required for critical air traffic and landing control missions.”
The contract builds upon radar software provided by EIZO’s partner, Cambridge Pixel.
