Sunlight readable workstation

1000-nit sunlight readable MilPAC Triple Display C4ISR computer

Since 2015 the MilPAC-III has been a powerhouse portable serving the US Navy as part of their C4ISR suite in the combat information center. Now the MILPAC-III 1000-nit display upgrade lets the MILPAC-III come out of the darkened environment of the CIC and into the direct sun without losing display clarity or readability. With new 1000-nit hi-resolution FHD displays that are clearly readable in direct and diffused sunlight, the MILPAC-III can be deployed forward in harsh desert environments that call for extraordinary display capability.

Nominally specified at 1000-nit brightness, the new displays have a contrast ratio in excess of 400:1 while providing deep blacks and extremely bright and readable detail. The 1000-nit displays were tested for maximum brightness and uniformity using a Topcon BM-9 Luminance Meter: Measured maximum white luminance was 1053 nits.

To make sure the upgraded MILPAC-III survives the hottest environments, a new desert filter back can be fitted so the MILPAC-III can survive the temperature extremes found in bright sunlight and desert environments

The MilPAC-III deployable workstation’s is available with a high-capacity filtered cooling system, the DFB (Desert Filter Back).  Utilizing a washable electrostatic filter and four high performance fans, the high airflow cooling system allows extended operation in hot, dusty and unpleasant environments.  The positive pressure system ensures that contaminants are stopped the filter.

The four fans were selected and tested to perform well as a high-pressure input to the cooling flow.  All air entering the MilPAC-III is filtered through the filter-back, and all the other fans exhaust, keeping the interior clean and cool.

The MilPAC-III filter is constructed of multiple layers of custom woven electrostatic polypropylene media, plus non-woven polyester.  The triple action filters promote free airflow, and have superior dust holding capacity.  Particulates are captured and attracted together electrostatically to form larger clumps. These settled particles are washed out through drain holes during periodic cleaning.

MilPAC-III

The MilPAC has been designed to work in forward deployed environments and on board ships.  It has passed the Mil-Std 901D test for shock in ship-borne applications.  This violent test simulates the ship running into a mine, or being torpedoed.  After the test (which is usually regarded as destructive) the MilPAC-III powered on without issue.

Performance:

Dual Xeon – Server-class motherboard with two Intel Xeon E5-2687W V2  processors – each independently liquid-cooled.

Up to 256GB of ECC registered RAM

Triple Screen Laptop Upgrade – 24″

by 1 Comment

Three screen laptop upgrade

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a triple screen laptop?  In the past, laptop display electronics could barely keep up with the display resolutions however, today’s high-end laptops have powerful graphics accelerators that allow laptops to become graphics powerhouses. It’s great to have so much power in a portable package, but many jobs require more displays and larger displays than can be found on commercial laptops. Enter a possible game changer for the traveling professional that needs multiple big displays on a laptop.

Three screen laptop display expander

Three screen laptop display system – 5′ of display space

Triple screen display turns laptop into workstation

This new rugged triple 24” display upgrade turns single screen laptops into multi screen workstations. The portable display converts a conventional single screen laptop into a 3-screen workstation with a 5760 x 1920 workspace using three 1920×1080 HD displays. The displays fold and lock together transport and storage

The display is laptop agnostic and will work with most laptop PCs & MacBooks running Windows O/S, Mac O/S or Linux. The laptop has to have enough sources of video output to drive the three displays or some extra USB-3 or USB-C ports that can drive a conversion cable available from the manufacturer.  These work transparently to the user, and work really well.

When opened for use, there is more than 5 feet of horizontal display area and the outboard panels can tilt inward to provide the best viewing experience for the user. Each display has it’s own adjustments for brightness, contrast and color temperature to allow for exact matching of the three displays presentation.

When folded the display gets quite compact (for a triple screen 24” system) and will fit under an airline seat or in the overhead compartment. Overall dimensions closed are: 23”W x 16”D x 5”H. Weight is about 15lb.

If there is space on your desktop you can also leave the laptop open to one side and go from a triple screen laptop to a quad screen laptop!

A “Pelican” style accessory case is available, but that means you’ll have to check the display with baggage. Although, the display will survive “airline-grade” baggage handlers without damage and the case adds a waterproofing and dustproofing feature to hauling it around the world. Another benefit to the case is that it can also hold your laptop, power adapter, cables, etc. The manufacturer supplies a case with a custom foam cutout to hold all the components mentioned above

Display-less Mil-Spec Computer

Mil Box Computer - mobile server

Brick Computer – MilBOX (prototype shown in CAD)

The MilBOX is intended for users who need a fully rugged mobile server that can withstand shock, vibration, humidity and temperature to Mil-STD 810F requirements.  Sometimes, you just need a computer that will survive being mounted almost anywhere, but still needs to be connected to whatever your are controlling/monitoring/logging. Such computers are sometime known as brick computers, shoe-box computers or if you are being polite, “small form-factor computers” because they are not very imaginatively designed!  Most of the engineering issues are of heat management and making the I/O fully waterproof.  Brick computers are usually fully sealed enclosures, so forced air cooling can’t be used.  In fact in the MilBOX there are no fans of any kind.  Cooling is through conduction and convection, with the casework operating as a heatsink.

Production MilBOX

Brick Computer Mil-spec, no display

Military Screenless Computer

The MilBOX is a COTS display-less computer in a metal enclosure with multiple mil-spec connectors mounted to the front panel.  Interfaces include options got GPS and Wireless cellular access, as well as the usual USB (4 x 3.0), dual Gigabit LAN,  2x SATA3 (6Gbps) ports + 2x SATA2 (3Gbps) ports and dedicated Isolated DIO, 8in/8out.

These sorts of computers are often underpowered when it comes to processor performance – but the MilBOX has an Intel® Core™ i7-3610QE which is a Quad Core CPU (with Hyperthreading to 8 virtual cores) with 6 MB SmartCache and Intel® HD Graphics 4000 on chip.  It operates at 2.3GHz (3.3 GHz Turbo) and dissipates only 45W (TDP).

For the kinds of environments you might encounter, the operating temperature range is -25°C ~ +70°C (Start up can be a low as -40°C)  A special wide temperature-range SSD is integrated.

Weighing 10.5lb with the Mil-Connectors, the MilBOX is IP65 rated and has AC & DC (10-36V) inputs.

Getac V110 Convertible Notebook Computer

Getac V110 convertible laptop

Rugged laptop notebook tablet

The Getac V110 is a modern, well executed rugged notebook which can be converted to tablet format.  Like almost all commercial rugged computers, the V110 is pretty robust and well sealed – until you want to connect it to something.  In the commercial world wireless and battery power may be acceptable, but military applications often require radio silence, and extended operation.

Mil Spec Connectors

Replacing one or more of the commercial connectors with a small format Mil-Spec connector can solve this issue.

Side mil-box for rugged notebook

Side milbox

Small and light, the side V110 MILBOX is a CNC machined housing that installs on the side of the notebook in place of the USB3 port and audio ports. The side MILBOX allows the user to interface to Power and USB or Ethernet signals via a single rugged MILSPEC connector.  Other connectivity is possible – USB3 can be converted into many useful protocols / interfaces.  The challenge is to find space inside the V110 to perform the conversion.

Standard connections

As standard this modification includes power (DC in) and USB or Ethernet.

Data Diode Rackmount Dual Computer

by Leave a Comment

Data Diode Dual Server

The AGS-DataDiode is a 2U rack-mount computer with two completely independent servers flanking a BAE data diode. Designed to match perfectly with the BAE data diode it enables a point-to-point one-way transfer solution that supports file transfer, email and video streaming in one direction only.

Dual Computer for Rack Mount Data Diode

A data diode (also referred to as a unidirectional security gateway or unidirectional network) is a network appliance or device allowing data to travel only in one direction, used in guaranteeing information security. They are most commonly found in high security environments such as defense, where they serve as connections between two or more networks of differing security classifications. This technology can now be found both in the military and at the industrial control level for such facilities as nuclear power plants, and electric power generation.

Theory of Operation

The Data Diode Solution is a controlled interface, strictly enforcing a unidirectional flow of data at the physical level. The absence of a return path ensures no possible data leakage and mitigates risks of malware, such as Advanced Persistent Threats, designed to covertly exfiltrate sensitive data. The Diode functions in conjunction with BAE Systems’ Data Pump Applications and content filtering software. The device typically sits between two servers attached to their respective security domains. The solution prohibits the separate enclaves from detecting each other. It supports unidirectional transfer of SMTP email, including attachments, and file-based and streaming data. By converting data into sequenced UDP packets, the data can then be transmitted across the Data Diode Device. Once received, the UDP packages are reconverted back to the original format. The solution includes automated acknowledgement for one way TCP support as well
