CORE DESIGN
Beginning with every character
recreating the DED reading experience
Original dot-matrix character style
Every character is redrawn around the original DED dot pattern, proportions, placement and spacing rather than replaced with a generic bold font.
OLED and optical display film
A 3.12-inch OLED is available in standard amber and NVIS-style green. A custom matte optical film controls brightness loss while improving readability in bright environments.
Page-by-page information reconstruction
The original dot-matrix style is retained while each page is restructured for the available 256 × 64 display area and a more natural reading hierarchy.
Dedicated data-driven display
USB data is processed by an STM32 F4 Series MCU. The unit does not depend on a graphics-card video output and does not add a separate video rendering workload.
SOFTWARE CONNECTION
Union Avionics
Simulator Center
Union Avionics Simulator Center is developed by UA to exchange flight data between the DED and DCS World or Falcon BMS. Because the software is maintained in house, DED page, character and interaction details can be implemented directly, while compatibility updates and bug fixes can follow simulator updates.
DCS WORLDSelect and save the game directory to complete the initial setup.
FALCON BMSNo additional setup is required.
DEVELOPED BY UADED details, compatibility updates and bug fixes remain under UA maintenance.
MANUFACTURING BACKGROUND
From machined aluminium
to complete device inspection
The DED body is CNC-machined from 6061 aluminium. A photopolymer-resin 3D-printed DED rear housing with a painted finish is supplied as standard. After preparation and multi-layer industrial coating, the aluminium body color is referenced against the physical FS 37038 Aviation Black chip in the SAE Federal Standard color deck, providing durable surface protection and a stable appearance. The display, optical film, electronics and interface are then assembled and checked for display output, USB communication and software connection.
