Display Options Available

There are too many options to list them individually here, so this site will only discuss the choices the Galileo developers have standardized on. It is worth noting that there is no requirement for all of the displays to be identical in the same system. It might be appropriate to install several small, interchangeable panels for attitude, navigation, and engine monitoring, while installing one larger unit for GPS moving map functionality. The same data is available to all display modules, so they all have the opportunity to use that data for their own purposes.

Note that these displays are all PDAs or Tablet PCs. These options provide off-the-shelf components that only require a small amount of installation and support work. Further, because Galileo is modular, the builder can opt to deploy only a single display and a single sensor module initially to provide a fixed function, such as fuel level monitoring, then scale the system to add functions as time and budgets permit.
