Build Your Own Rugged Display

Build Your Own Rugged Display
Choose product features and design your own rugged display by leveraging DSE’s proven, yet flexible, COTS and custom solutions
Today DSE is launching a new tool to help configure a rugged display by matching your program needs to its catalog of customizable display systems. This new tool enables users to select requirements such as video inputs/outputs, display size and resolution, in addition to choosing from additional interface features like bezel keys, touch screen and more.
Once a user submits their requirements, a DSE rugged display variant is recommended to meet these specifications. Try it out for yourself by visiting the Build Your Own Rugged Display module.
A History of Engineering Rugged Displays
Rugged displays are at the core of DSE’s organization. For nearly three decades, DSE has been trusted to develop high-performing, dependable electronics for rugged applications ranging from amphibious military vehicles to crop planters, excavators and rescue helicopters. Throughout this time, DSE has not only perfected its rugged displays, but has also engineered a deep catalog of products with an even wider set of unique configurations.
DSE’s engineering competency, combined with an approach that allows program opportunities to drive technology and product development, has resulted in over 500 unique product configurations. Today, DSE continues to leverage this extensive family of products to meet the custom needs of our partners, while also designing, building and manufacturing new, next-generation solutions.
Through leveraging proven hardware and software subcomponents, DSE is able to quickly produce new, specialized display systems while reducing development time and costs for our customers. This ability to leverage proven components not only reduces lead times but also technical risk. Learn more about our development process here.
Take a First Look at the Typhon Rugged Display

The Typhon Rugged Display
Big things are coming this summer at DSE, with the launch of our all-new, next-generation system. Keep reading below to take the first look at the Typhon rugged display.
Three Times the Awareness
At first glance, it’s evident that the Typhon is a unique addition to the DSE line of rugged displays. Its hard anodized enclosure includes not one, but three high-definition screens in one fully-sealed, contained system. A series of bezel keys line the middle screen, allowing users to take full command of programmable actions. And, with full high-definition capabilities, modern military fleets can take advantage of quality, high-speed digital video.
Engineered for the Battlefield
The Typhon was born out of a real-world need for enhanced situational awareness in driver’s stations on an armored vehicle. With 9 unique video inputs and on-board CANBus communications systems, the Typhon provides drivers with ample information to ensure mission success, and most importantly—safety. Depending on the installation, the Typhon display system can deliver up to 360° awareness to a driver, commander or the crew. Integration with the existing vehicle communication network is made seamless with programmatic CANBus and RS-232 flexibility.
The Typhon display was made possible by DSE’s ability to design, build and engineer custom solutions from concept to production—leveraging an extensive line of rugged products and a team of expert engineers. While engineered for a specific use case, the Typhon will join DSE’s family of rugged displays designed for aerospace and defense applications. Built with the same attention to MIL-STDs, the Typhon will survive the harshest of applications.
Coming Soon
The Typhon is an exciting new development for 2022, a year in which DSE has also announced several product launches, including the VH4 Video Hub and the FHDRM 24” rugged display. The Typhon is expected to be available this summer, and if you would like to learn more, you can request information by providing your email below or by contacting our team directly.
