Rugged Computers and Tablets

ArgonFDS offers a comprehensive line of durable and agile rugged computers and tablets, renowned for being the smallest in Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP). Precision-engineered to withstand the harshest environments, our products are reliable C5ISR solutions for the most demanding applications. You can rely on our rugged computing, display, and peripheral solutions to stand up against extreme conditions and the test of time.

Our product portfolio includes compact, lightweight "Brick" computers, handheld tablets, and fully-featured sunlight-readable laptops/workstations. Thanks to an extensive library of design configurations, we ensure we have the ideal solution for your C5ISR application. Our selection includes diverse processor types, RAM sizes, mass storage, pointing devices, and communication ports, custom-tailored to meet your needs.

Why complicate procurement with multiple suppliers for your rugged display, computing, and peripheral needs when ArgonFDS can provide both? In some instances, unforeseen conflicts may arise between the display monitor and the computer. By sourcing both from ArgonFDS, you eliminate this risk, ensuring potential conflicts are swiftly managed and resolved.

Our robust line of computing solutions boasts the industry's lowest Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) specifications. We offer customizable solutions suitable for various applications:

• Computing 'Bricks' for Dismounted and UxV Applications
• Integrated Rugged Display Monitors and Computers
• Rugged Tablets
• Rugged Laptops
• Rugged Rack-mount Computers

Our rugged display sizes are also available with integrated computers, forming part of ArgonFDS' rugged tablet product family. With only a slight increase in unit depth, these smart display solutions house a computer behind the LCD, making them ideal for airborne, naval, or land-based platforms.

We also provide standalone rugged computers, perfect as servers or command and control systems in various military applications. Our computer "Bricks" stand out in the market due to their compactness, low weight, and low power consumption.

Our Rugged Workstations are available in standard laptop design, with 15", 17", and 20" display versions. They can be customized with a wide range of I/O ports, network connections, removable and non-removable storage devices, and custom keyboards.

Rugged Displays

Experience the unparalleled performance and durability of ArgonFDS's rugged display monitors. Our robust product line includes LCD displays ranging from a compact 5.0" to a substantial 43", providing unmatched versatility for any application. Whether it's military land operations, air missions or sea explorations, ArgonFDS solutions have consistently delivered exceptional results on global platforms.

Key features such as Sunlight Readability and NVG Compatibility ensure our displays provide crystal-clear visuals in all environments. Additional features like our Rugged AR Touch Screen, diverse Video Inputs, Bezel Keys, and Cold Start options enhance our designs' user experience and practicality. Trust ArgonFDS to deliver a custom unit that integrates flawlessly with your application by leveraging our extensive design library.

ArgonFDS is proud to offer one of the industry's most comprehensive and innovative selections of rugged display monitors. Our products are recognized worldwide on military land, air, and sea platforms, thanks to their limitless applications.

We continuously innovate and adapt our products to meet customer challenges that others cannot or will not. A recent example of this is when ArgonFDS was tasked with developing a 19" rack mount 21.3" viewable LCD with an LED backlighting system less than 3" deep. We not only met this challenge but exceeded expectations, now offering the lightest weight and highest viewable surface for the 19" rack mount application - the ARD21.

Our standard options, such as Sunlight Readability, NVG Compatibility, Rugged AR Touch Screen, Video Inputs, Bezel Keys, and Cold Start, allow us to quickly customize a unit that perfectly fits your application and installation.

We understand that many of our designs may require qualification testing. As such, we're prepared to provide reports. If similar qualifications can't be established for a model, we're ready to work with you to develop a cost-efficient qualification test program.

At ArgonFDS, we understand that one size does not fit all and every application has unique requirements. We've built our business model around this concept to better serve our customers.
