Reliable power, data and signal connectivity

Unmanned systems are deployed – sometimes autonomously – in inaccessible areas. A wide variety of applications, such as disaster relief, mine clearance, or mining, require uninterrupted and secure connections.

Applications worldwide in a wide variety of environments with high humidity and extreme temperatures require particularly robust materials. In the field, the connectors must also withstand shocks and vibrations, while coming into contact with dirt, dust, various liquids, and interference. Our connectors are designed precisely to withstand heavy loads during long operating times.

Unmanned systems can accommodate a huge amount of technology in a small footprint. This requires particularly space- and weight-saving products.

Unmanned systems – regardless of whether the control units are integrated into a control station or as onboard computers for autonomous movement – ​​require precise positioning and, as a rule, a continuous connection to the control station.

Various technologies are used for navigation, control and data transmission, including radio links, radar, GNSS (e.g. GPS), satellite communications, cameras, acoustic systems, environmental sensors (e.g. barometers), antenna systems, digital data links and laser modules for distance measurement or target acquisition.

Regardless of the transmission technology – be it electrical cables or optical fibers – we supply the right connection solution.

Gripper arms, winches or even weapon systems located on the unmanned system must be supplied with power and signals and provide data.

Rotating turrets or movable arms place increased demands on each component due to their mechanical stress.

Drives for unmanned systems can be powered by combustion engines or electrically – for example, via battery systems or solar modules – and thus provide movement and energy supply.

Batteries and their chargers are frequently connected and disconnected. A large amount of technology must be reliably supplied with power in confined and often difficult-to-access spaces. Power distribution systems must therefore be designed flexibly and space-savingly to optimally adapt to the limited space available.
