IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$ITT—ITT
Inc.’s (NYSE:ITT) Cannon
brand will highlight its innovative solutions for soldier-worn
applications during the Association of the United States Army (AUSA)
Institute of Land Warfare (ILW) Global Force Symposium and Exposition
March 26-28, 2018 Booth #200A at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville,
Alabama.
During AUSA/ILW
Global Force 2018, ITT Cannon will feature its next-generation
soldier-worn connector solutions, which are designed to perform under
the extreme shock, exposure, vibration and harsh conditions of military
environments.
“ITT Cannon interconnect solutions are designed to meet the evolving
needs of today’s modern military,” said Mike Savage, director of product
management. “On land, air, sea and space, our small, lightweight harsh
environment connectors improve mobility, secure and maintain
connectivity, and support decision making for soldiers in the field.
From foot patrols to combat missions, Cannon interconnects are
engineered to the highest quality standards and built for performance
and reliability, no matter the environment.”
ITT Cannon will showcase a variety of interconnect solutions for
soldier-worn applications during AUSA/ILW 2018, including:
-
Nemesis
II CBA (20+ Meters) for Soldier-Worn Applications – The next
generation of ITT Cannon’s Nemesis miniature circular connector
product line, the Nemesis II CBA features proprietary high pressure
sealing that is designed and tested for water submersion to 20+ Meters
(65.6 Feet)—among the highest in the industry. Small, lightweight and
highly reliable, the Nemesis II CBA blends high speed, high mating and
quick termination to perform reliably in extreme conditions, making it
ideally suited for battlefield communication devices and applications
such as manpack and hand-held radios. It delivers reliable power,
signal and data in a smaller, more robust and integrated design
package. -
Rock-in-Lock™
(RIL) Latching Connector for Soldier-Worn Applications –
RIL is a push-and-plug, single-handed connector that provides reliable
signal integrity. Its quick-latching mechanism enables plug and unplug
functionality without any special tools. The RIL is designed as a
small receptacle connector about the size of a flash drive that can be
worn on a soldier or first responder’s helmet, or attached to
field-use computer tablets. It is low profile, lightweight and capable
of transferring a significant amount of power or data needed for
everything from augmented reality goggles to tactical combat radios. -
MKJ
Clip Lock for Military & Defense Applications – The
MKJ Clip Lock fulfills a need for reliable, cost-efficient
mini-circular connectors that deliver the highest level of
performance. Easy-to-use and install, its innovative quick-connect
clip lock feature was originally designed for the automotive industry.
It offers multiple keying options to prevent miss-mating, with 6
clocking positions, high-density size 23 machine contacts, and is
available in 4, 6, 7 and 10 positions and fully machined aluminum
shells. This innovative connector solution is field repairable and
available for soldier-worn systems in a Cannon breakaway design option.
ITT Cannon’s soldier-worn solutions support the need for connectivity by
enabling emerging high-speed protocols across a wide range of
applications including hand-held and manpack radios, situational
awareness GPS devices, battery packs, tablets, laptops, weapons control,
night vision headsets and many more.
“When the difference in mission success or failure is a matter of
seconds, our interconnect solutions transmit data, power and signal
faster and more reliably so that soldiers have the information they need
to make snap decisions,” Savage said. “Our soldier-worn solutions help
maintain communication and transmission of mission-critical information
when they need it most.”
