Scottsdale, AZ - Digital Systems Engineering, Inc. has been awarded a contract to supply their Military Spec Monitors
(MSM) to Boeing (NYSE: BA). The contract was awarded on February 2, 2008 by Boeing’s Integrated Defense Systems
in Wichita, Kansas. Boeing Integrated Defense Systems is one of the world’s largest space and defense businesses, and is a $30.5 billion business
. Boeing is also the world’s largest military aircraft manufacturer; the world’s largest satellite manufacturer
and a leading provider of space-based communications; the primary systems integrator for U.S. missile defense
and Department of Homeland Security; NASA’s largest contractor; and a global leader in sustainment solutions and launch
services.
Under this contract, Boeing will install DSE’s ruggedized monitors to make it easier for B-52 crew members to fire and
direct laser-guided weapons. The LCD displays will be incorporated with Boeing’s Evolutionary Data link (EDL) system.
The EDL system provides color computer displays and graphical user interfaces at 3 crew positions on the aircraft. These
displays are mounted to be viewable by all 5 primary crewmembers.
This contract award has allowed DSE to penetrate the rugged military aerospace market with their MIL-SPEC monitors
and to continue to make the B-52 one of the most modern weapons systems in the world. “This shows a lot of effort by
the U.S. Air Force to continue flying the B-52,” says Jarrod Bartlett, Boeing Wichita spokesman. “It’s been flying for 40
years and they’re still making it a relevant aircraft for today’s warfighting needs.”
DSE’s monitors meet MIL-STD-810F, MIL-L-85762A, MIL-PRF-22885, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-3009. DSE is at the forefront of
Rugged Military Mobile Computer Solutions and Ruggedized Sealed Sunlight Readable Military Display Technology. |
