Interconnect solutions for the battlefield

After ILA, the aeronautics and space show, which took place in Berlin from 1st to 4th June, Axon’ will exhibit at Eurosatory in Paris from 13th to 17th June. Electrical rugged cable assemblies for the battlefield, lightweight miniature connectors for air fighters, high data rate links, reliable data transmission networks, and power cables for armoured vehicles, these are some examples of interconnect solutions that Axon’ can provide for land or air applications. Meet our experts, stand H497, hall 6. Robustness and electromagnetic protection Whether for air or land battlefields, Axon’ Cable designs reliable and rugged interconnects. The company can not only manufacture its own conductors and cables but has also a large expertise in cable jacketing and overmoulding. The expertise of Axon’ in these techniques allows the company to offer cable assemblies which are very robust including in the connecting area. The overmoulding must perfectly adhere to the cable in order to offer a reliable mechanical protection to the cable assembly in hostile environment. In the context of electronic warfare, electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a key issue to be considered for military electronic equipment. Not just the cables but the whole interconnect system has to be protected against EMI so that communication and navigation systems can play their role on the battlefield. From the cable to the connector and the cable assembly, Axon’ will offer the most appropriate EMC solution. The company has also developed Flexforce® flexible power cables designed for applications requiring high currents and high flexibility such as armoured vehicles, tanks and radar systems. Weight saving and miniaturization Weight saving, miniaturisation, electrical performance and mechanical resilience, these are all challenges met by cabling solutions designed by Axon’ Cable. From the flight command system to the aircraft tail, Axon’ engineers design avionic systems specifically adapted to the needs and production volumes of its customers. With 1.27 mm contact spacing, Micro-D connectors which are half the size of D-sub connectors are an ideal solution for weight saving. Axon’ also offers connectors which are 4 times smaller as D-Sub connectors. Although miniature connectors made by Axon’ are small, they are robust and resistant to vibrations. This range of products is interesting for communication devices used by soldiers. Data transmission For space or avionics applications, Axon’ has manufactured data transmission harnesses in compliance with the MIL-STD-1553 standard for many years. These reliable transmission networks offer high security of data, signal integrity, weight and space saving.
