AMREL Offers New Rugged Night Vision Computing Solutions

AMREL now offers turn-key night vision solutions, fully compliant with MIL-STD 3009 and CECOM (CSLP) standards.

"AMREL's rugged laptops, tablets, and handhelds are the perfect platforms for night vision solutions," said Kalvin Chen, AMREL's VP of Operations. "The durability and reliability of our computers makes them practical for both ground and aviation purposes."

The widespread use of night vision goggles has necessitated the adoption of light restricting filters for mobile computers. Aviation crews must be careful that the light of their laptops and tablets do not blind pilots who use night vision goggles to fly in dark, dangerous areas. Military forces on the ground are keen that enemies cannot detect their presence by using night vision goggles to spot light emitting from their tactical computers.

"Special Forces have used AMREL's rugged computers for years," explains Mr. Chen. "We are especially pleased that we can offer them this feature, which enhances their safety by limiting their detectability. Of course, our night vision computing solutions also meet the less stringent aviation standards."

AMREL's Night Vision Computing Solutions virtually eliminate all infrared emissions completely, which is important, since night vision goggles usually work in that part of the spectrum. Overall light transmissions are restricted to just 2.5%. Other levels of light suppression are available on request.

AMREL Night Vision Solutions use the SafeNight filters. These polymeric filters are nonflammable and offer full color rendering, which is important for mapping applications.

AMREL Night Vision Computing Solutions are available for ROCKY RS11, the lightest, thinnest rugged laptop in the world (13.3" display), ROCKY DK10 fully rugged tablet (12.1" display) and ROCKY DB6 handheld, the smallest, fully rugged handheld with full Windows OS (5" display).
