The battlefield broadband, ground-based communications system from BAE Systems (used on the Falcon mobile shelter programme), is protected by EMC, EMP and TEMPEST specification filters from MPE.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a lattice structure capable of absorbing a wide range of vibrations while also being useful as a load-bearing component – for example, in propellers, rotors and rockets. It can absorb vibrations in the audible range, which are the most undesirable in engineering applications. Vibrations from a bus engine can sometimes be felt uncomfortably strongly through the seats.

Two AccuDyne AC motoring dynamometers from SAKOR Technologies have been provided to Lockhead Martin to be used in the research, development, quality control and design validation of a variety of technologies for Lockheed Martin’s advanced aerospace projects.

MIL-DTL-38999 and MIL-DTL-26482 aluminum, composite and stainless steel (class K) connectors from Esterline Connection Technologies – Souriau are QPL certified. The group and its 12 value-added distributors (VAD) based in the USA are able to meet sudden surges in demand whilst maintaining the same high level of service, quality, and on-time delivery.

All-in-one range of 38999 Series III connectors with integrated backshell from Esterline Connection Technologies. This range offers flexibility, versatility and higher performance, and has been available for purchase via SOURIAU's international distribution network since early 2016.

Space has long been a field reserved for big spenders such as governments and large companies. However with rapid advances in electronics and information technology, Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, of El Segundo, California, seeks to break through the cost barrier with its family of low-cost Falcon launch vehicles and the Dragon spacecraft. 

The Israeli Ministry of Defence Procurement and Production Directorate (PPD) has selected exterior LED lights by Imco Industries, for a project if upgrading IDF tank transports. Imco Industries, provider of electrical harnesses, control boxes, electromechanical devices and LED lights for military applications, breaks new ground as the industry’s designer and manufacturer of these LED lights.

SLICE PRO Field, a completely self-contained rugged Data Acquisition System (DAS) in a portable kit has been introduced by Diversified Technical Systems (DTS). SLICE PRO Field delivers reliable data in low temperatures, high altitudes and low pressure environments, making it suited for aerospace and aircraft applications. 

It has been announced by United Electronic Industries (UEI) that their PowerDNA Cube and avionics interfaces have been selected by ZedaSoft, who will provide the US Army’s Distributed Test Control Center (DTCC) with an AH-64D Apache simulator. Having won a contract from AI Signal Research (ASRI), ZedaSoft’s simulator integrated with UEI hardware and I/O was the ideal choice to support the US Army’s various aviation and communica...

TMD Technologies and LIG Nex1 have been working in partnership for over ten years. A contract signed in July at the Farnborough International Airshow covers supply of Travelling Wave Tubes (TWTs). A TWT is a specialized vacuum tube that is used in electronics to amplify RF signals in the microwave range. These will be incorporated into the Korean company’s missile programme, with the contract value of £5m.
