Rugged Displays
Discover cutting-edge solutions from leading global suppliers
General Digital’s modular approach to rugged display design allows products to be tailored to exact customer requirements by swapping out components and making iterations to baseline products, while still meeting specific military standards (MIL-STDs).
This design method stems from General Digital’s understanding that every customer has different needs, such as requiring a specific display but a different video controller, a heater designed for frigid environments, or DC power instead of AC.

General Digital offers over 120,000,000 potential configurations that customers can order, all of which are built to meet specific military standards. Base models of many product families are certified to military standards, with additional customer-provided reports available upon request.
General Digital reassures customers that even if a product is not formally certified, it has undergone a rigorous, ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management process and can withstand the harshest environments on or off Earth.
For specific configurations, General Digital conducts “confidence testing” in-house for iterations built to meet a specific standard but not formally qualified. This includes altitude testing in a vacuum chamber, temperature and humidity testing in a Thermotron oven, photometric testing, submersion in a dunk tank, and electromagnetic interference testing in a shielded EMI room.
The company has spent many hours supporting and observing its products being tested at certification houses. This has provided crucial insight into design solutions that successfully pass and has supplied knowledge that can be leveraged when building subsequent iterations.
Units can also be formally tested if required, with General Digital maintaining long-standing relationships with third-party testing houses.
