RTCA DO-160G & MIL-STD-3009 NVIS Certified

Cockpit Display Units (CDU)

High-reliability Cockpit Display Units (CDU) and flight deck multi-function displays (MFD) custom-engineered for aircraft control interfaces, tactical search helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) ground stations. Fully compliant with RTCA DO-160G environmental categories (covering rapid decompression, altitude, and thermal shock) and MIL-STD-3009 NVIS Type I Class B night vision requirements. Equipped with dual-mode LED backlighting switchable between high-brightness daylight mode (up to 1500 nits) and NVG-safe night flight mode. Built with lightweight, rugged avionics enclosures, tactile bezel keys, and military circular MIL-DTL-38999 connectors for ARINC 818, HDMI, or SDI video interfaces.

CDU Capabilities

Advanced flight deck cockpit display unit features

DO-160G Environmental

Engineered to withstand rapid decompression up to 55,000 ft, extreme temperature shock, and aircraft cabin vibration profiles.

MIL-STD-3009 NVIS

Dual-mode day/night backlight ensures clear readability under bright sunlight and zero near-IR emission in night vision mode.

Tactile Bezel Keys

Features option for rugged, back-lit silicone bezel buttons or custom metal dome keyboards integrated around the screen perimeter.

Optical Lamination

LOCA bonding eliminates reflections, enhances contrast under high-ambient flight decks, and prevents condensation.

ARINC 818 Interface

Support for high-bandwidth fiber optic digital video transmission standard for modern aerospace cockpits.

EMI/EMC Shielding

Built with advanced ITO conductive glass layers to pass stringent aerospace radiated and conducted emission regulations.

Aviation Cockpit Integration

High-performance display units for primary flight displays and tactical panels

Our Cockpit Display Units (CDUs) are designed to provide pilots and mission specialists with reliable tactical data under intense operational stress. Milled from lightweight, aircraft-grade aluminum, the display units are optimized for panel-mounting, console bezel integration, or yoke-mounting. The system features dual-mode day/night backlight scaling, allowing seamless transitions from high-glare direct sunlight to complete darkness. Integrated transient protection ensures compliance with MIL-STD-704F power specifications, absorbing lightning strikes, engine start dropouts, and avionics bus surges without operational failure.

  • RTCA DO-160G certified environmental robustness
  • MIL-STD-3009 Type I/II night vision compatibility
  • Optional ARINC 818, SDI, DVI-D, and HDMI inputs
  • Tactile bezel control keys with customized backlighting
