With critical information and mission success at stake, defense systems cannot afford to fail. Engineers designing for defense applications rely on rugged, high-performing connectors to ensure consistent, reliable connectivity that withstands extreme environmental stressors and increasingly complex technological demands. As modern defense systems evolve, designers face new challenges in developing and selecting components to support these systems.
Ensuring long-term reliability in the face of harsh mechanical, thermal and environmental conditions remains a top priority—one that requires precision-engineered connectors built to meet stringent military specifications.
At the same time, the shift toward electrification in key defense applications is transforming system architecture, demanding compact connectors capable of handling higher power loads and efficient, secure power transmission.
As defense systems incorporate more advanced technologies, such as real-time data processing and high-bandwidth communications, the need for lightweighting and size reduction becomes more urgent than ever. This drives an increased focus on Size, Weight, Power and Cost (SWaP-C.)
Backed by decades of experience in defense connectivity, Molex and AirBorn can help customers meet these high-stakes challenges head-on. With a portfolio of advanced, military-grade connector solutions tailored to meet the needs of mission-critical applications, Molex and AirBorn technologies are built to withstand extreme conditions while enabling compact, lightweight designs.
