Designed and manufactured entirely in the UK, our systems offer unmatched flexibility. We can tailor our proven designs to meet your specific requirements without additional non-recurring engineering (NRE) charges. Backed by our commitment to quality and reliability, we also provide long-term through-life support and refurbishment services — ensuring ongoing performance and value even in the most demanding applications.
10.4″ / 12.1″ POSEIDON XTREME LIGHTWEIGHT MONITORS
Designed specifically for the most challenging airborne environments, the Poseidon Xtreme Lightweight monitors set a new benchmark in rugged display technology. With a slimline, lightweight housing and a robust VESA mounting system—including stainless steel threaded hard-point mountings—these monitors are purpose-built for aviation and other mission-critical applications.
At the heart of their performance is a high-brightness, dimmable 1000 cd/m² display, protected by an anti-reflective (AR) coated glass window. This ensures outstanding visibility in all lighting conditions, from full daylight to low-light operational settings.
Despite their hard-anodised aluminium construction, these units are the lightest in our 10.4” and 12” monitor range—offering an unmatched combination of durability and portability in a compact form factor.
Fully sealed to IP67 standards, the Poseidon Xtreme Lightweight monitors are engineered to operate reliably in the harshest environments. Currently in active service with both UK and NATO forces, they continue to deliver uncompromising performance in the field.
Poseidon Xtreme Lightweight—engineered for resilience, designed for deployment.
10.4″ POSEIDON HANDHELD MONITOR
The Bluestone Poseidon 10.4” Handheld display is a lightweight and durable solution widely deployed across UK military applications. It serves as the primary user interface for several critical ground test systems, including the Compact End-to-End Tester (CETET), Man-Portable Electrical Tester (MPET), and General Purpose Support Equipment (GPSE).
Designed for clarity and ease of use, the Poseidon 10.4” display features a resistive touchscreen that provides operators with intuitive control and clear test information during sequence execution.
Engineered for mission-critical environments, the display has been EMC tested to Def Stan 59-411 and BS EN 61326, and environmentally qualified to multiple military standards. Proven across a broad spectrum of air, sea, and land applications, the Bluestone Poseidon 10.4” display delivers outstanding performance and reliability in the most demanding conditions.
POSEIDON i7 XTREME PC
i7 Xtreme – Ultra-Rugged Performance for Mobile and Airborne Missions
The i7 Xtreme is built for performance in the most challenging environments.
