French term

situés à l’extérieur du module

French to English Tech/Engineering Military / Defense Technical specifications
Pour assurer le suivi opérationnel de la mission et afin de ne pas perturber les opérateurs de vol, il est important de disposer, dans cette salle, de liaisons permettant de déporter les images affichées sur les écrans des différentes baies du (Interim MALE UAV system) vers des écrans numériques situés à l’extérieur du module de conduite et de contrôle des véhicules aériens

This paragraph comes under the heading "Equipement de Déport Vidéo".

At first I translated it as 'located at the external flight control module', then changed it to 'located external to ......' and then back again. I'm getting more confused by the minute and have to admit that I don't quite get itsmeaning. I'm tempted to just translate it as 'located at the flight control module' but I may be completely off.

I'd appreciate if someone could shed some light on this. Many thanks in advance.

agree chris collister : though I'm not sure what a "digital screen" is. I'd be tempted to leave it as just "screen" to avoid confusion.

Thanks!
agree Bourth (X) : Really don't see how any confusion is possible ... Digital screen = not a CRT??? Easier to transmit to?

Thanks!
agree Charles Hawtrey (X) : 'located outside the module' looks perfect to me - and FWIW it's probably an LCD screen - smaller, lighter and lower voltage supply than a CRT. 'Digital' probably means data not pictures, but agreed, Chris, leave it out.

agree André Vanasse (X) : It may be to an external module used as a teaching aid or to allow an incoming replacement crew to get familiar with the current status of operations.

located outside the...

If I understand it correclty, this refers to screens on the OUTSIDE of the cockpit/control module. I do not think that "located at the external flight control module" is correct at all.
