Offering screen sizes from 10.1” to 32”, CDS Defence Monitors and Panel PCs deliver the reliability, durability, and performance required for mission-critical defence environments.

✅ Reliable Computing, Customised for Defence Applications

Every military monitor in the CDS range is built and tested in accordance with MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461 standards, ensuring full compliance with stringent environmental and electromagnetic requirements. CDS performs in-house reliability testing to guarantee superior performance under vibration, shock, humidity, and extreme temperature conditions.

These rugged systems are ideal for vehicle-mounted, field-deployed, and naval defence applications, where continuous reliability is non-negotiable.

✅ Powerful and Rugged Performance

Equipped with the latest Intel® Core™ i-Series processors, CDS Defence Monitor & Panel PCs deliver exceptional computing performance within IP65/IP66/IP67-rated enclosures.
