High-Performance RF Interconnect Solutions for Military Ground Systems

The defense industry counts on dependable, durable RF systems for mission-critical military electronics applications such as intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) systems, SATCOM and communications systems, electronic warfare (EW), missile guidance, and more. These systems must be highly reliable and offer consistently high performance—in very demanding, confined, and variable environments on the ground, in the air, and at sea. These applications depend on continuous real-time data transmission with high accuracy, driving unique requirements for custom RF interconnect solutions.

Many of these systems are connected using MIL-DTL-17 coaxial cables, the base specification for military-approved coaxial cables. MIL-DTL-17 sets forth the parameters for cable materials and includes requirements for testing parameters, including mechanical, physical, and environmental testing. Cables and assemblies that are qualified to MIL-DTL-17 specifications are listed in the Qualified Products Database (QPD) by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).
