PANELS KEEP SHRINKING.
PERFORMANCE CAN'T.
Modern defense systems keep getting smaller. Displays, processors, and communications hardware compete for every inch of available panel space. Yet operators still need responsive, reliable control of increasingly complex systems. Performance must be protected, so the people relying on the system can be, too.
