Solutions-Based Approach to Military RIB Displays
At KME, we take an innovative approach to our military RIB and small craft displays, utilising the latest cutting-edge display technologies. Every customer is unique to us, no two projects are the same which is why we approach each customer's system requirement from a blank canvas. This allows us to fully understand the system needs from the outset.
Our safety-critical displays, which offer high reliability (SIL1, SIL2, SIL3) depending on the platform, are designed in close collaboration with the customer's design authority. Our goal is to create a system that integrates perfectly within the larger system architecture, ensuring a successful overarching safety case.

Case Study: Special Forces Fast Boat Application
KME was engaged to provide two systems for a special forces fast boat application: a walk-on tablet and a display fitted into the craft. The project started with basic requirements, however it did not include some features that our subject matter experts would typically recommend for such applications.
Before the System Requirements Review (SRR), our business development team, which included an ex-Royal Marines Commando, worked closely with the end user and our customer to demonstrate the technology that KME believed would provide a tactical advantage during operations. By defining the best solutions collaboratively and showcasing our expertise on military RIB and small craft displays, the SRR was conducted successfully.
The equipment provided featured a unique set of capabilities, including:
- Reduced thermal signature
- NVIS compatibility
- Hot-swappable power interconnectivity
- Advanced waterproof and diveable technology.
