Additional System features of the LCD 3.3 vehicle system
Multiple applications: LCD is ideally suited to multi-role applications and can be quickly and easily
removed and re-installed from the PCA. Flexible deployment options of the LCD allow the same detector
to be used for, personal protection, fixed site, remote sampling and survey applications.
Power: The system will operate from vehicle power supplies, in addition, the LCD can be fitted with
internal batteries, supporting dismounting operations and power backup if external power is lost.
Communications: The LCD is capable of control and display communication with the vehicle
management system.
Automatic operation: The detector can be turned on and off by a remote control signal provided by
the vehicle, this can be activated on demand or integrated into the vehicle start up procedures.
Simultaneous internal / external detection: Due to the size and affordability of the LCD, two systems can
be used to simultaneously monitor both internal and external environments, enhancing crew protection.
Minimal user burden: The entire system requires no calibration or scheduled maintenance; consumables are
easily replaced without the need for tooling.
Ease of integration: A Software Development Kit is available to minimise the effort required to
integrate control and display functions into the vehicle management systems.
Environmental qualification: against strict military standards, independent test certificates are
available for the LCD 3.3 system for; MIL-STD-810G, MIL-STD-461F and MIL-STD-1275
