While showing me around his booth today at the Paris Air Show, Jean Cristophe Monfret, Barco's director of product and program management showed me the different ways avionics display capability is deployed today in military such as in airport moving map displays, electronic flight bags, video displays, etc.
Trends that he sees in the avionics display market include providing more flexibility for the end user, improved touch screen capability, and greater use of light emitting diode (LED) technology. Meanwhile, enhanced vision and synthetic vision applications are driving future avionics display applications.
Monfret said that their MOSArt, modular open architecture avionics displays are popular because they enable system integrators to develop their software on Barco's hardware.
He said that like everyone else Barco is feeling some of the effects of the downturn in the commercial market, but that their military business in avionics and simulation remains quite strong.
Monfret also noted that the oil applications -- where helicopters are flying to off-shore platforms -- is a growth area for avionics displays.
