Milcots designs and builds Rugged - Ruggedized Displays and Computers for the military.  Since 2002,  all of our units are built to Mil Std specs, without exception.  Our success in building reliable and mission-ready military computer displays began with the US Navy and as our reputation spread, we were invited to engineer and manufacture computer screen solutions for Army and Air Force branches.

Milcots’ inhouse team of engineers has a century of experience working with military applications.  Using this expertise we resolve the complex MIL-STD requirements of the military display markets and balancing the newest technology with the product longevity that program managers demand.

Milcots use of a modular design allows for dozens of optional permutations of MIL-STD requirements. This design approach minimizes initial NRE costs and enables quick turnaround for tech refreshes further down the product lifecycle.

Milcots solves problems, providing Form Fit and Function replacements for obsolete units and creating long lasting new solutions for new programs. Our rugged military computer displays, panel pcs and computers are designed to meet the most severe requirements encountered in military environments, and are the computers of choice for sea, air and ground applications.

Milcots is based in Mahwah, NJ, in a state-of-the-art facility which houses our manufacturing, engineering and senior leadership.

Manufacturing a high quality product is the main focus of the Milcots Production Team. MILCOTS leadership is deeply committed to implementing quality practices throughout all levels of the organization. We are certified to AS9100.

Our 50,000 sq. ft state-of-the-art facility has been designed to enhance manufacturing flow, workforce expansion and incorporates multiple environmental testing chambers (heat, cold, vibration), a dark room for testing LCD luminance and NVIS features, EMI testing and a dedicated class 10k Clean Room.

All products are assembled by a team of highly trained technicians. Working within their own cell, team members have access to all online documentation. Routings and travelers are documented and signed for each single step of the production process. Our team of QC inspectors gets involved when parts are received and maintain a constant quality watch during integration (in process) up to the last steps prior to shipping (final inspection as part of the acceptance procedure).

The ESD and environmentally controlled facility prioritizes cleanliness, starting with an effective FOD awareness program. Glass & LCD assembly is completed in a separate clean room to ensure no debris. Processes such as gluing and soldering are performed in separate ventilated rooms to avoid cross contamination and guarantee safe conditions to our personnel.

A traveler packet accompanies every product assembled which tracks all steps completed as well as in-process quality checks. The well controlled inventory is managed by FIFO and material used is tracked on each traveler by vendor information for full traceability. Every product is 100% tested and 100% QC Inspected before leaving Milcots.

Milcots has a complete Environmental test area including multiple Thermal Chambers as well as a Shock & Vibration table. This equipment is used for Design Validation as well as any ESS or Burn-In requirements set forth in the product specification/requirements.

MILCOTS performs a 24 hours ESS burn-in test at high temperature on each single product manufactured. Performed to eliminate any premature electronic defect, this ESS sequence can be completed by more specific tests (such as vibration or cold start) when required by the program.

Milcots is an ISO9001:2015 company with a complete paperless quality system.

Our expertise is solving the complex MIL-STD requirements for rugged smart displays for military environments and rugged computers while balancing the newest technology with the product longevity that program managers demand.

Milcots’ in house team of engineers has a century of experience working with military applications. Our engineering team has a balanced range of core competencies in mechanical, electrical, firmware and software design, manufacturing and test engineering to execute projects from specification to a fully qualified production system. Our team is consulted upfront in projects, to guide and advise our customers on technical performance, component choices and provide experienced support.

Milcots solves problems, providing Form Fit and Function replacements for obsolete displays and components and creating long lived, future forward design for new or legacy programs.

Milcots Engineering Team are Subject Matter Experts in the field of military computer and display design and configuration, with a deep familiarity of envinronmental and human factor requirements, allowing the customer to focus on higher level tasks.

A team approach including engineering, company executives, and sales provides the customers a sense of control and involvement. Strong customer support approach with management of obsolescence is the primary objective.

MILCOTS constantly surveys the LCD market to take advantage of new industrial solutions and implement new features into our rugged smart displays, ever mindful of SWaP-C and reliability.

Features include high resolution (4K), multi touch sensors (PCAP, IR, resistive), enhanced luminance (with and without NVIS capability), high contrast ratio, low latency solutions, analog and digital video acquisition and fusion with overlay capabilities. Specific requirements of each branch of the military are addressed, such as heavy shock requirement for Navy, weight constraints for Airborne, or boot kick and CBRN decontamination for ground Army.

Milcots use of a modular design allows for dozens of configurations without redesigning while addressing MIL-STD requirements. This design approach minimizes initial NRE costs and enables quick turnaround for tech refreshes further down the product lifecycle.

Milcots innovative management systems provides above average traceability of product history, as well as full paperless access to all applicable documentation.

MILCOTS addresses the military market, in the USA and overseas.
