Planned as the next generation of military capable human/machine interfaces (HMI), the latest WASP touchscreen design enables the use of sophisticated graphics in addition to performing the more basic functions.

Having been successfully tested, the new touchscreen design can be adapted to meet the requirements of almost any application by meeting all of the primary requirements of military equipment components in terms of ruggedness, reliability and battlefield performance.

In addition to the new screens, WASP will also be displaying their primary electronic components such as rotary switches and silicon keypads currently installed in communication equipment and in use by the military throughout the world.

One of WASP's most popular battlefield components on show will be their ultra-safe Pull-to-Turn rotary switch mechanism. The potential for serious accident or data loss has been ruled out by adding an extra position to the switch which is not operational until the spindle has been pulled. This facility can be supplied in as many positions as required and can be fitted at either end of the mechanism travel. The amount of force required to action the switch can be designed to suit both the application or even adjusted to the touch of a regular operator.

Clearly suited to aerospace or military applications to prevent the consequences of accidental switching caused by extreme movement, the mechanism can be fitted to any of WASP's large range of rotary switches. Also on display will be their silicon keypads.
