Samtel Display Systems (SDS), a key Indian player in high-technology products for commercial and military avionics applications, will be showing a strong presence at Le Bourget 2009, the world’s premiere Airshow. This event being organized by GIFAS (Groupement des Industries Françaises Aéronautiques et Spatiales) will see Samtel presenting its range of world-class avionics products.
As Puneet Kaura, Executive Director (SDS) points out, “As the Indian aerospace industry embarks on an intensive modernization campaign, Samtel Display Systems is ready to provide perfect solutions and partnerships for all avionics requirements. We hope to continue to help India in developing a strengthened aerospace industry and foster an environment in which transatlantic and other industrial partnerships can focus on delivering the most advanced systems in the most cost effective manner. “
Flying high on partnerships with leaders such as Thales, Honeywell and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Samtel will be showcasing its coveted range of reference products like FCD66 MKII, EFIS 40, HMSD, MFD55 and MFD68 at their stand no. E-16 in Hall 4.
Full Color Display FCD66 MKII by Samtel and Thales for Airbus
The FCD66 MKII is a CRT (cathode ray tube) based full colour display manufactured by Samtel integrated in a 6x6 Thales display unit for Airbus aircraft. This CRT has been specified under strict supervision by Thales to match the most stringent specifications and quality requirements of Air Transport requirement. The FCD66 MKII is designed for installation on an aircraft instrument panel to display color piloting and navigation aid data as well as system and warning parameters. It displays multiple and variable parameters, synthesizing a large quantity of data and combining the data used in the various phases of flight for display in different colors. Equipped with special features that include High Resolution, High Brightness and Contrast according to application requirements, the product is airworthy and has been designed especially for airborne requirements. The FCD conforms to extreme Environmental test conditions viz. -- Vibration and shock up to 0.02 g2/Hz random in each axis, Temperature ranging from –55 to + 85 deg.C, Humidity -- 95%, and altitude up to 20,000 meters. Live demo of this product will be available at the Samtel booth.
EFIS40 by Honeywell and Samtel
The Electronic Flight Instrument System, EFIS40, with a 4â€x4†screen is a compact, high-performance system developed specifically for aircraft accommodating 4-inch instruments. Being developed by Honeywell and Samtel, the product is designed with analog and digital interfaces, and shows bright, clear displays in easy-to-read, easy-to-understand formats. It also includes an advanced self-test capability. The product conforms to Environmental test conditions, including temperature variations from 40°C to +85°C, maximum altitude of 55,000 ft., and high resolution. The product is also ruggedized for vibration, shock and crash safety. Live demo of this product will be available at the Samtel booth.
The Multi-Functional display (MFD)
It is a device that paints a composite view of the aircraft’s environment, providing the pilot with all necessary information to make safe decisions during every phase of flight.
 MFD55 – the 5â€x5†screen MFD developed by Samtel under the aegis of DRDO, and manufactured by the Samtel HAL JV has been certified for airworthiness and is flying currently on Sukhoi 30 MKIs. The live demo of this product will be displayed at the Samtel booth under the Samtel HAL collaboration header.
• MFD68 – the 6â€x8â€screen MFD developed by Samtel Display Systems at its AS9100 certified and MIL qualified facilities will also be put on live demo. This product has undergone a high-end ruggedisation process in-house to enable operations at very high standards of reliability under extremely adverse environmental conditions to withstand Extended temperatures, Extreme shock and vibration, and make them suitable for High altitude avionics, Night Vision, High brightness/ high contrast sunlight readable.
Helmet-mounted Sight and Display System by Samtel-Thales Avionics -
A Helmet mounted display (HMD) is a device used in some modern aircraft, especially combat aircraft. HMDs project information on an aircrew’s helmet visor, thereby allowing him to obtain situational awareness and/or cue weapons systems to the direction his head is pointing.
Samtel and Thales signed a joint venture in 2008 to work towards the local development, production, sale and maintenance of Helmets Mounted Sight & Display (HMSD) and other Avionics Systems destined for the Indian market. A mock-up of the HMSD will be available at the Samtel booth at the Paris Air Show. The HMSD – named TopSight-I – is based on Thales’s advanced and proven technologies and is suited for all Indian fighter aircraft.
