SELEX Sensors & Airborne Systems awards Skyquest Aviation Smart PC development programme
Under the contract Skyquest will develop a high brightness LCD display panel with an integrated processor to enable local software applications to run directly behind the display. SELEX S&AS will use the new Smart PC technology in airborne radar applications.
Skyquest already supplies industry leading video display and recording technology to the airborne surveillance industry and believes that the product will open new markets for users who need to run computer software in their aircraft for applications such as moving maps, mission planning and automatic number plate and target recognition.
Technical Director Anthony McQuiggan commented that “powerful panel pc technology brings many new opportunities to users who would previously have had to certify both a computer and display, and the associated power and cabling requirements, into the aircraft. With our new Smart PC Panel, installation is simplified and users can either run the display for traditional video applications or combine local software applications as and when they need them”
Skyquest will deliver initial units in Q4 2007 and anticipates full production in early 2008.
Skyquest Aviation supply industry leading video display, video distribution, video recording and video transmitting technology for airborne surveillance aircraft.
