Rugged Display 7.0” ASD70

The ArgonFDS ASD70 Rugged Display 7.0″ is a military-grade, high-performance rugged display.  Engineered for mission-critical systems. Measuring approximately 17.2 cm × 11.3 cm × 2.7 cm.

It offers exceptional clarity with resolution options (800×480 or 1024×600), high-contrast visuals, and an optional >750 nit high-bright mode for daylight readability.

Built to withstand shock, vibration, and harsh environments, it’s ideal for defence, avionics, land systems, and portable rugged computing.

The ASD70 Rugged Display 7.0″ from ArgonFDS is a robust, mid-size rugged LCD solution. Designed for deployment in unforgiving environments.

Key Features

  • Enhanced viewing area & resolution options
    Choose between 800×480 or 1024×600 to tailor the user interface for clarity or content needs.

  • High contrast & brightness
    Native brightness (~300 nits) plus optional sunlight-readable high brightness (>750 nits) mode for outdoor use.

  • Compact yet rugged form
    Approx. 17.2 × 11.3 × 2.7 cm, weight ~0.82 kg — fits into cockpit panels, vehicle dashboards, or portable enclosures.

  • MIL-STD certified durability
    Built to MIL-STD-810/461 for shock (40 g), vibration, EMI/EMC, temperature extremes, and sealed against dust, sand, salt fog, and humidity.

  • Power & interface flexibility
    Accepts 9–36 VDC input; supports RGB / DVI video, plus USB / RS-232 for touch functionality (resistive touch option).

  • Customisable connectors & controls
    Specify Glenair Mighty Mouse® or alternative rugged connectors, and choose user controls (on/off, brightness, day/night, bezel buttons) as needed.

  • Low-SWaP focus
    Typical power use is ~8 W, rising to ~10.5 W in high-bright mode — designed to balance performance and efficiency.


Key Benefits

    • Reliable in Extreme Environments – To begin with, whether airborne, marine, or ground-based, the ASD70 performs flawlessly under temperature extremes, high altitude, vibration, and shock stresses, ensuring mission-critical reliability.
    • Better Readability & UI Flexibility – Furthermore, its high contrast and optional high-brightness screen enhance legibility in harsh lighting, while selectable resolutions give interface designers the flexibility to optimise user experience.

    • Integration Ease – In addition, the compact size and rugged construction make the ASD70 ideal for cockpit panels, vehicle consoles, control rooms, or portable field systems, simplifying installation in tight or demanding spaces.
