Multi-Function Displays
Diehl Aerospace in cooperation with Thales provides Multifunction Displays for all Airbus aircraft types and develops the Display System for the A350 XWB. The Display System allows the presentation of flight and navigation parameters as well as the communication between the crew and the various software applications. The work share of Diehl Aerospace consists of a metal housing with integrated ventilators for the cooling in the case of an emergency, of a Power Supply-I/O Board including an attached AFDX Module and a graphics processor board.
The communication between the six Display Systems that are integrated into the cockpit utilises the integrated AFDX Modules (100Mb/s full duplex). In addition to that, the Display System includes four CAN bus interfaces (1Mb/s similar to the ones of the A380) and three optical interfaces (glass fiber) for a data transfer of up to 3.1 Gb/s. The screen definition of each display can be adjusted individually. The entire system can be contacted via an ARINC 600 plug on its back.Control & Display Systems
Display Management Computers
Diehl Aerospace produces the Display Management Computer (DMC) of the A320 Cockpit Display System.
The DMC is a data concentrator, that collects all data from sensors and external sources, consolidates it and sends it to the cockpit displays.Control & Display Systems
Symbol Generators
The Diehl Aerospace Center of Excellence for symbol generation develops state-of-the-art technologies for graphic generation and processing. The display systems can be found in the cockpits of many passenger aircraft, such as in the Cockpit and Display System (CDS) and the Onboard Airport Navigation System (OANS) of the Airbus A380.
The Helmet-Mounted Sight Display (HMSD) and Operator ControlPanel (OCP) for the NH90 and Tiger helicopters demonstrate the possible fields of application for these technologies in the military field, too. Recent graphic generation solutions provide abilities to render high definition display resolutions with safety critical flight symbology, moving maps or even synthetic vision as an option.Doors and Slides Management
