This document describes a Radar Display Unit (RDU) that is designed to replace CRT-based displays with a lighter and more compact unit. The RDU uses an active matrix LCD with LED backlight to display radar information in full color. It has software-configurable buttons, runs Windows XP on an x86 CPU, and is compatible with APQ-159 radar systems. The RDU is tested to various military standards for reliability under temperature, vibration, shock, and environmental conditions.

Designed as a drop-in replacement for current
CRT-based displays, this RDU provides
a reduction in weight and envelope size,
increased reliability, and a high degree of
customization via software.
The RDU is designed to display radar on a
full-color, ruggedized, active matrix LCD
(AMLCD) with LED backlight. Two
compact flash slots are provided for data
storage. Software-configurable bezel buttons
(20) are backlit with full dimming capability.
