Emerging Technologies in Defence
As the use of emerging technologies increases within the defence industry
and engineering design has started to focus more on user-centred design, Cambridge Electronic
Industries’ custom design service can offer unique innovative products to complete your design
interconnectivity. From smaller custom Coaxial Connectors to fit into small spaces to larger
multiway micro connector cable assemblies, we are able to offer bespoke solutions use in demanding
conditions, whether it be extreme temperatures, vibration, or shock, which are requirements for
the defence sector.
Drone Defence Systems
Drone defence systems have been in the news in recent years
for stopping attacks on major airports. This type of equipment is being used not
only in the military and civil defence systems to stop acts of terrorism and drug
smuggling, but also in commercial defence from attacks on airports and invasion of
privacy and security intrusion. The equipment works by tracking and inhibiting RF
signals, to bring the drone back to ground.
Head-Mounted Display Systems
Being skilled in aerial combat is no longer enough to take on the
world with tactical flying. With the use of head mounted display systems the pilot has
information including flight data, displays of any threats, off sight target engagement
and target acquisition displayed directly into their field of vision within their flight
helmet. This offers the pilot the highest level of situational awareness.
Surveillance Systems
Independent sight systems are being fitted on armoured vehicles
and Naval boats. This gyro stabilised or pan and tilt subsystems provide automatic target tracking
operations as well as thermal cameras, day and night cameras and laser range finders. The systems
can be integrated with weaponry systems and offer simulation of the results of the defence option
chosen to improve the effectiveness and directness of tactical force.
Coaxial Cable Systems
As well as our extensive range of board mounted connectors we also offer a precision
range of coaxial cable terminations. These include BNC and Micro BNC connectors working up to 12GHz,
with their secure bayonet fittings, to the quick release or screw on DIN 1.0/2.3 which work up to 6GHz.
All styles of connectors are available for various types of coaxial cable and offer clear imaging solutions,
which can withstand the stresses of a combat scenario.
Bespoke Cables
As a designer of connectors, Cambridge Electronic Industries can also offer bespoke connector solutions.
As well as designs for coaxial connectors we are also happy to look at other connector styles and have provided unique designs for military use. Working over
a number of manufacturing sites, each with individual expertise, we are able to offer a full range of manufacturing options to take a design from concept to reality.
