Military grade rugged computer and MR mission recorder from Barco for use in vehicles

Barco has launched DPM-3, rugged computer fully optimized and MIL-qualified. This unit is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. Barco's DPM-3 computer is designed for utility vehicle, helicopter or ground army vehicle. The compact DPM-3 features the latest graphics and computing power.

The DPM-3 is modular and features open architecture supporting customized systems. It can be interfaced with range of sensors and features video processing - including image fusion, image warping and motion detection - and offers high resolution video streaming.

Barco's MR-100-E for naval applications and MR-200-E for land-based and airborne applications offer functionality to capture, archive, retrieve and manage various types of audio and video content.

Patrick Sauvaget and Johan Devos, Product Managers Defense, add: "Recording has become essential to many critical applications and mission requirements. It can be used for e.g. military mission debriefing, incident investigation and system training. Combined with Barco's DPM-3 rugged computer and its light-readable 10-inch TX-126 display, Barco will be offering the most reliable mission-critical solution for vehicle operations in harsh environments."
