Parvus DuraVIS 4300 and 3006 Chosen For Next-Generation U.S.
Navy Aircraft
Parvus Corporation said Tuesday it has been awarded a contract
with Boeing to supply the Flight Test Display (FTD) and the
Instrumentation Crew station Control Panel (ICCP) for the P-8A
Poseidon aircraft. Developed for the U.S. Navy, the P-8A is a
long-range anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare,
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft capable of
broad-area, maritime and littoral operations. The P-8A will begin
flight test this Fall and initial operational capability is slated
for 2013.
Boeing selected the DuraVIS 4300 from Parvus to serve as the
aircraft's ICCP. By combining the proven durability and power of
Parvus' DuraCOR mission computer with a Commercial-Off-the-Shelf
(COTS) Multi-Function Display (MFD), the DuraVIS 4300 is an ideal
solution for presenting flight, sensor, mapping, advisory and other
information for the P-8A aircraft. Qualified to MIL-STD-810F,
MIL-STD-704E and MIL-STD-461E standards, the DuraVIS 4300 offers
exceptional low-temperature operation (-20C) and resistance to
shock and vibration profiles that will be experienced by the
P-8A.
In addition, Parvus' DuraVIS 3006 was chosen by Boeing to serve
as the Flight Test Display for the P-8A. The DuraVIS 3006 is a
rugged flat panel 6.5" TFT Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) offering
daylight readability and a hardened mechanical design well suited
for the high reliability applications of the P-8A aircraft. This
extremely compact (1.5" thick) and lightweight (3lbs) unit is
packaged in a hardened aluminum housing equipped with flexible
mounting options and an anti-glare protective acrylic cover for
impact protection and explosive decompression.
"The selection of Parvus DuraVIS products for the P-8A aircraft
is a testament to Parvus' proven track record of supplying durable,
highly-reliable mission computers and displays for demanding
military and aerospace applications," said Les Goodman, president
of Parvus. "We are honored to partner with Boeing to supply such a
prestigious aircraft with the necessary equipment to provide
maximum interoperability in the future battle space."
