BARCO is Awarded 16 Million USD Order to Supply ISIS Flat Panel LCD Main Display for US FAA Enroute Centers
KORTRIJK, 7 November 2002, BarcoView has received a 16 million USD order against a 51 million USD contract from Lockheed Martin ATM for the delivery of ISIS 2K x 2K flat panel displays as part of the US FAA Console Reconfiguration and MDM Replacement Program.
The ISIS panels will replace the Sony DDM displays in the US FAA enroute centers that have reached end of service life. BarcoView has been chosen by Lockheed Martin ATM to supply the 2K x 2K ISIS 28” diagonal square LCD main display panels because of their high optical quality and functional compatibility with the existing Sony DDM displays. Barco’s ISIS flat panel main display is the obvious choice because of its high image quality, low lifecycle cost and compatibility with the worldwide de facto ATC standard 20” x 20” square format at 2048 x 2048 resolution.Moreover, the four mega-pixel ISIS flat panel main display can easily be integrated into both new and existing Controller Working Positions because of its small mechanical form factor.
Lockheed Martin ATM has installed the first delivery of ISIS flat panels at the Seattle, Washington air traffic control center. Salt Lake City, Utah and Denver, Colorado are currently in progress. BarcoView’s advanced ergonomic visualization solution will allow operators to display high-quality 2048 x 2048 high resolution images, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
This award represents the first large order of the ISIS display by the FAA and represents over nine months of testing and evaluation of the ISIS by Lockheed Martin ATM and the FAA. Barco will deliver this initial order over a one-year period and fulfill the remaining contractual deliveries by the end of 2004.
