The latest soldier connectivity solutions from Fischer Connectors are the Fischer UltiMate and Fischer MiniMax connectors designed to meet the Army’s Nett Warrior standards. The tactical hubs reportedly integrate the power and data flows from multiple digital devices (sights, radios, displays and batteries) in a lightweight ergonomic component.
To connect all the soldier’s wearable electronics, Fischer Connectors enhances its UltiMate and MiniMax connector designs to meet the technical requirements of integrated dismounted leader situational awareness (SA) systems such as the US Army’s Nett Warrior.
“Army Transformation is facing a revolution in military affairs, and Fischer Connectors is transforming products and services to address the Army’s needs,” said Jonathan Brossard, CEO of the Switzerland-based Fischer Connectors Group at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition in Washington, D.C. “Soldier connectivity is the key enabler for improving command and control. Along with our Army partners, Fischer Connectors is focused on applying emerging technology to optimise soldier connectivity.”
“Land forces face a new revolution in military affairs based on three digital technologies: ubiquitous sensors, 5G networks and artificial intelligence,” said Jack Midgley, Fischer Connectors Group’s Global Defence Market Leader. “Fischer Connectors has developed new connectivity solutions to help land force commanders tackle this revolution. High-speed, high volume data transmission, improved power management and wearability are essential for commanders to exploit new sensors, networks and AI applications. Fischer Connectors has met these challenges with Swiss-engineered solutions meeting tough Army standards.”
Fischer Connectors will showcase new soldier connectivity solutions at Booth #8249 (Halls DE) at AUSA, with hands-on product demonstrations. Fischer Connectors’ experts in soldier modernisation connectivity have described the new revolution in military affairs in the Trend Paper entitled ‘The Connectivity Challenge – A New Revolution in Military Affairs’, published at AUSA as a world premiere.
