Overview
When missions demand maximum visual clarity in Command & Control operations, Argon’s ARD21 delivers. This 21.3” rugged display brings mission-critical intelligence to combat and tactical vehicles, mobile shelters, and close-in naval spaces. With an extremely small bezel, flexible mounting configurations, configurable I/O, and universal AC/DC power supply, the ARD21 provides maximum viewable surface area in the smallest mounting possible.
Argon’s field-proven displays enable seamless transitions between mounted and dismounted operations. With a 19” rack-mount form factor (8U/9U high), a slim 2.8” depth, and a weight of just 15.7 lbs., the ARD21 delivers mission-ready performance where space and weight are at a premium. With 65W typical power consumption and LED backlighting, the display extends mission endurance while minimizing operator burden. The fully enclosed unit requires no holes or fans, meeting MIL-S-901D and other environmental/EMI qualification standards.
Designed as a form-fit-function replacement for obsolete 20.1” legacy rugged displays, the ARD21 maintains several field-ready, battle-tested configurations. Argon stands ready tocustomize the unit or engineer mechanical solutions to meet your exact program requirements.
