Rugged Display 32″ ARD32

The ArgonFDS ARD32 Rugged Display 32″ (31.5″ viewable) is a large-format, military-grade monitor.  Designed for mission-critical operations.

Measuring approximately 73.7 cm × 44.8 cm × 7.0 cm and weighing under 9.1 kg.  This rugged display 32″ offers 1920×1080 Full HD resolution.  In a 300-nit standard brightness (with optional 750+ nit high-bright mode), and a fully enclosed, fanless IP-sealed chassis.  Built to MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461.

It is ideal for defence, aerospace, naval, and industrial command and control applications where reliability and visibility are paramount.

The ARD32 Rugged Display 32″ delivers expansive screen clarity in a slim-bezel and fully sealed housing.  Therefore, making it perfect for command centres, tactical vehicles, naval bridges, and industrial control rooms.


Key Features

  • Large 32″ Full HD display (31.5″ viewable) – Provides exceptional screen real estate for C4ISR operations, tactical maps, and high-density data visualisation.

  • High brightness & contrast – Standard 300-nit brightness with optional 750+ nit high-bright mode.  Along with >1400:1 contrast.  Ensuring sharp visibility in challenging light conditions.

  • Rugged sealed construction – Fully enclosed IP-rated aluminium housing with fanless convection cooling.  Therefore, protecting against dust, salt fog, humidity, and sand.

  • Flexible power & interface options – Supports 18–36 VDC or 110/220 VAC (44–440 Hz).  Plus multiple video inputs including RGB, DVI, HDMI, HD-SDI, S-Video, and composite.  As well as  RS-232/USB control and optional rugged analog resistive touch screen.

  • Built to MIL-STD – Certified to MIL-STD-810 for shock, vibration, temperature, and altitude.  In addition,  MIL-STD-461 for EMI/EMC, guaranteeing mission-ready reliability.

  • Customisable controls & connectors – Offers customer-defined bezel buttons, MIL circular or D-sub connectors.  Plus configurable I/O layouts to suit specific platform requirements.


Key Benefits

  • Reliable in extreme environments – To begin with, the ARD32 operates across –10 °C to +55 °C (with optional –40 °C variant).  In addition, it withstands 20,000 ft operating and 40,000 ft non-operating altitudes.  Plus resists vibration, shock, and salt fog, ensuring dependable mission performance.

  • Superior readability for mission-critical data – Moreover, its Full HD resolution, high contrast, and optional high-bright mode provide sharp, clear visuals for complex command-and-control applications.

  • Simplified integration – In addition, its slim bezel, flexible mounting options, and broad video input compatibility simplify installation in naval consoles, aircraft mission systems, and vehicle control rooms.

  • Local support & service – Finally, Metromatics provides Australia & NZ-based engineering, integration assistance, and after-sales service, ensuring smooth deployment and long-term operational reliability.
