A unique military HMI CCD design originally developed for SOCOM allows control of multiple slewing functions. This CCD has ergonomic features that allow individualized adjustment for pilot comfort. The adjustability adds to the number of platforms that the CCD can be used in without modification. The grip portion utilizes elements derived from HOTAS-style grips and is featured in the B-1, CH-47, UH-60, CH-53, multiple FLIR, and weapons configurations.
• Individual ergonomic pilot preference grip adjustment positions
• Multiple switch configurations
• Two 4-way toggles, one 2-way toggle, one joystick with push, two push buttons one scroll wheel and two axis grip adjustment
• Interfaces Supported: ARINC 429, RS422, RS485, USB, Ethernet, CANBUS
Our bespoke Cursor Control Devices (CCD) are an example of material, shapes, and finishes that create a superior user experience. Essentially, anything associated with the movement of an unmanned vehicle, remote weapon, or sensor system requiring human input.
• Ergonomic left and right handed designs
• Accent features that create a signature look for a cockpit
• Accent lighting for cockpit or button illumination
• With or without interface: ARINC 429, RS422, USB, Ethernet, CANBUS
• Trackballs, trackpads, and joysticks for cursor manipulation
• Switches: pushbutton, slide, toggle, rotary, or combination of functions
• FAA Part 21, 23, 25, 27, 29
• RTCA/DO-160, 178, 254, MIL-STD-461, 464, 704, 810, ARP4754
Mason has developed many two-handed dismounted controllers for use in helicopter, ground vehicles, and special mission platforms.

More Information
CCDs from Mason Control's are multifunctional controllers engineered for ease of use and rugged performance in aviation and ground applications.
Like our HaWC controllers, our Tracducer and armrest CCDs are comfortable to operate, balanced, and ergonomically designed as the clear choice for control in the field.
Our Tracducer CCD offers superior slew control for fast-slew, high-click usage in high-vibration environments — such as helicopters — as well as rotational adjustability for operator comfort. Right and left-hand units are available.
