The whitepaper covers several applications that benefit from updated cable and connector technology to meet modern military and aerospace requirements, including:
- UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), which require small diameter, high-speed ruggedized miniature differential signal connectors for cable interconnections between data storage modules
- Military robotics, requiring a combination of low weight and extreme reliability when exposed to shock and vibration, and often using special pin and socket systems with spring beryllium copper or twisted steel to retain constant contact
- Defense gyros and guidance systems, consisting of MEMS components and highly miniaturized cable and connector systems designed for
extreme temperature and vibration - Phased-array radars, using multiple sets of high pin and socket count connectors that handle rapid signal processing to and from the radar module, and help adjust the phase-angle of the antennas to follow rapidly moving targets
