Panoramic Cockpit Displays for Tactical Military Cockpits

摘要

The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) incorporates the latest technology for aerial combat. To support this aircraft's mission and to provide the pilot with the increased situational awareness needed in today's battlespace, a panoramic AMLCD was developed and is being deployed for the first time. This 20" by 8" display is the largest fielded to date in a tactical fighter. Key system innovations had to be employed to allow this technology to function in this demanding environment. Certain older generation aircraft are now considering incorporating a panoramic display to provide their crews with this level of increased capability. Key design issues that had to be overcome dealt with sunlight readability, vibration resistance, touch-screen operation, and reliability concerns to avoid single-point failures. A completely redundant system design had to be employed to ensure that the pilot would always have access to critical mission and flight data.
