Solving the Mechanical Bottlenecks in Military Ground Vehicle Computing

A major defense OEM won a contract to fast-track development of next-generation, AI-enhanced smart vehicle displays for military vehicles. It needed a manufacturing partner that could quickly prototype, build and test key mechanical components to install them in multiple types of vehicles. ±«Óãtv confidently handled the fabrication, prototyping and build management of multiple components and helped keep this tight-timeframe project on track.

The Problem

  • Software and AI were advancing quickly, but the physical hardware lagged behind – an issue compounded by many late design ECOs.

  • The highly customized components had to fit different vehicle platforms and support multiple subsystems.

  • The smart display hardware had to survive vibration, shock, dust and repeated install/removal cycles.

  • Integration and deployment schedules were extremely tight.

The Solution

  • To meet these needs, ±«Óãtv leveraged the engineering and production expertise of three of its facilities.

  • Round Rock, TX: CNC machined display frames, thermal plates, interface brackets and structural mounts.

  • Denver, CO: Quick-turn sheet-metal covers, rear housings, access doors and panel modifications.

  • Ithaca, NY: Prototype fixtures, fit-check hardware, and low-volume pilot kits for integration and vehicle test events.

  • ±«Óãtv acted as a rapid-response domestic hardware partner that compressed the time from revised CAD release to installable vehicle-ready hardware.

The Results

  • ±«Óãtv provided a low-friction path from engineering validation to low-volume production and helped the customer keep this multi-faceted, short-timeframe program on schedule.

  • Strong engineering support on the front end of this project resulted in reduced schedule exposure from late-stage ECOs.
