The External Combat Console (ECC) is a ruggedized Human Machine Interface (HMI) designed for armored combat vehicles and unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) platforms. It enables operators to monitor battlefield information and control mission-critical subsystems through an embedded computing architecture.
Solution Overview
The External Combat Console (ECC) is a ruggedized Human Machine Interface (HMI) designed for armored combat vehicles and unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) platforms. It enables operators to monitor battlefield information and control mission-critical subsystems through an embedded computing architecture.
The console integrates an Intel Core i7 Single Board Computer running Ubuntu Linux, a 17.3-inch Full-HD rugged display with 28 programmable bezel keys, membrane keyboard, military-grade joystick, emergency stop switch, rotary switches, analog and digital I/O cards, USB hub, and isolated DC-DC power supply. Internal wiring uses MIL-grade PTFE cables to ensure high reliability, EMI immunity, and long service life under harsh battlefield environments.
Rug-Rel Role
Rug-Rel integrates the embedded compute, display, operator controls, I/O cards, communication interfaces, power supply, and rugged cabling into a mission-ready combat console.
The platform is validated through hardware bring-up, BIOS configuration, Ubuntu driver installation, Ethernet, USB, serial communication, joystick, membrane keyboard, analog input, digital output, and burn-in testing.
Program Value
Supports operators who need a rugged HMI for battlefield information monitoring and mission-critical subsystem control.
Reduces vehicle-level integration effort by combining compute, display, controls, I/O, power conversion, and MIL connector interfaces in one validated console.
Provides a defense-ready platform architecture for armored combat vehicles and UGV deployments.
