RVS-330 Rugged Vehicle System, also known as "the
Applique", is an "Off the shelf" based MIL-STD-810E rugged computer
hardware designed to offer flexible expansion and customization to
suit different applications. This model provides the standard user
interface for vehicular mounted FBCB2
terminals.
It is powered by the vehicle's 28VDC
power supply or via AC adapter. The terminal uses sunlight readable
display and is designed to operate at temperatures ranging from -35°
to 60°C. Utilizing commercial Intel Pentium III, 600 MHz or faster
processor, with 256K L2 cache, socket 370, the system can also
accommodate lower cost Celeron processors for less demanding
processing.
The system uses 192 Megabytes PC-I00 SDRAM, and is expandable to 512M
bytes. Removable internal 10 GB hard drive is installed, expandable to
28+ GB. The system uses SVGA, 12.1 inch diagonal, color LCD with touch
screen, active matrix sunlight readable TFT with 800 by 600 pixels
resolution and Side-to-side viewing angle of +/- 60°. The display can
be relocated up to 8 meters (25 foot) away from the processor, to
facilitate optimal installation inside the vehicle or in a command
post. The system uses sealed keyboard, embedded a sealed pointing
device.
RVS-330 is compliant with MS-DOS, Windows 95, 98, 2000, Microsoft NT
v. 4.0 and Solaris X86 (UNIX) v. 2.6 and 7. The system can be expanded
utilizing a internal PMC slot, 3U compact PCI expansion slot, Device
bay 20 form factor slot and a Disk on chip socket. It can support an
external display through an SVGA port, supporting up to 1280 x 1024
pixel resolution 18-bit LVDS video, Sound Blaster compatible PCI audio
input and output, two USB ports, IEEE 802.3 10/100BaseT LAN interface,
an RS-232C port, five RS-422/RS-423 and two synchronous serial
communications ports for Conditioned Di-Phase (CDP) and
MIL-STD-188-144 non-return-to-zero communications interfaces.
In
November 2006 DRS Technologies, Inc. received an additional
US$19 million order for FBCB2 hardware. This contract adds 1,700
Appliqué Computer Systems and peripheral equipment to already supplied
25,000 FBCB2 systems already deployed with the U.S. Army.
