US Navy Q-70 program
Case study
Barco established a successful track record as a supplier of cutting-edge visualization technology for the US Navy's AN/UYQ-70 program.
Barco's deliveries include 20-inch RFD 251S rugged displays that meet the most demanding shock, temperature and vibration safety standards. Their front bonded optical stack ensures superior optical performance at all times and offers a truly rugged, condensation-free visualization solution under all conditions. The units that were selected by Lockheed Martin also feature Automatic Phase Adjust technology, offering clear and sharp images over time, and the patented LCD Flicker Compensation solution, which enables naval operators to view acoustic sonar images without the constant flicker that is characteristic of Liquid Crystal Displays in naval applications.
More than five thousand RFD-251 displays are serving the US Navy today aboard a variety of ships, including Virginia, Seawolf, Los Angeles and Ohio class submarines, Aegis-equipped cruisers and destroyers, aircraft carriers and various amphibious ships.
Together with the displays, Barco also supplied powerful AVS-5100 graphics generators and RGB video frame grabbers. The AVS-5100 boards are specifically designed to support high-resolution, drawing-intensive software. Thanks to their smart architecture, they provide the flexibility to generate graphics data in separate underlay, overlay and superoverlay planes, with simultaneous display of external video sources.
Additional RGB Video Frame Grabbers are used to capture and store high-resolution images during mission performance. Thanks to these Video Frame Grabbers, which were specifically designed for this project, mission operators are able to transfer and store images for analysis on the US Navy's P-3 aircraft.
