DEFENSE

Combat-proven MIL-grade HMIs for uncompromised reliability.

Military applications require field-proven and foolproof HMIs capable of operating under extreme conditions (temperature, dust, water, heavy shock, vibration...). Thanks to our 70 years of experience in the defense industry collaborating with leading defense companies, APEM has developed a strong know-how in HMI military solutions. Today, APEM offers one of the broadest ranges of Human Machine Interfaces, including pushbutton and toggle switches, indicators, control panels and joysticks.

Typical applications include military vehicles, scalers, tanks, remote weapon systems, smoke dischargers, countermeasure systems, unmanned vehicles (UAV, UGV, ROV…), communication systems, tactical radios, video surveillance and optronics systems.
