You're right, I was mistaken.

I think I briefly glanced at the image back in April and registered it in my mind as having to do with JARI, and that's how I remembered it until you pointed out that the context was not what I assumed/remembered it to be.

To expand on that a bit, it seems like this particular booth was at IDEX (Abu Dhabi defense exhibition) back in 2019.


The booth in question was a CSOC one, and as we can see the JARI USV is shown as well as some of their export submarines.
The television screen, from what I can see, having tracked down a few different angle pictures taken at different times, would've just been showcasing a number of offered products and development work that they do, and not something exclusive to the USV.

I wonder if we had perhaps had a video of that display screen for the promotional film that they would've played, what other technologies we might have seen, or perhaps additional details of the three screen console/station.

Screen captures possibly showing a next generation console. I don't yet have the video. It differs in both display arrangement and from the console shown in Blitzo's post.

Here's the video from which the screen shots are taken. It gives a brief look at the PLAN development center for combat information systems, where the hardware and software are put through their paces in various combat simulations. I added some screen shots in case the video becomes lost to time.

Here is a layout of 052D's CIC I gleaned from various footage. There are still bits and pieces missing, so this is only a rough sketch.

Note that elements such as consoles, tables, and doors are not in scale. The little circles represent people (or heads to be more precise).
