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 used 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.

Broadcasting

Cambridge Electronic Industries are the world leaders in the development of emerging technology in coaxial connectors.

Machine Vision

As automation in manufacturing becomes increasingly high tech, the need for accurate, fast and reliable systems is crucial.

Robotics

Robots are primarily used as mechanical devices to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks, enhance precision, or provide greater visibility and finer motor control than human capabilities allow.

Automotive

As technology advances in the car market with the introduction of electric and hybrid vehicles and the design and research into autonomous transport, Cambridge Electronic Industries are working with designers to create the interconnection and cable solutions for the future.

Thermal

With climate change an increasingly prominent global concern, the need for thermally stable connections has never been more important. Maintaining reliable connectivity requires components that can withstand fluctuating temperatures and challenging environmental conditions.

Medical

As advances in medical discoveries increase, the machinery to support these breakthroughs require state-of-the-art technology products to launch them into the wider market.

Rail

Rail technology is moving forward at a great pace and reliable communications are an ever important requirement for signalling and safety, especially as train speeds are increasing.

Printing

Industrial inkjet printers deliver exceptional print resolution and support format sizes far beyond anything available in the consumer market.
