Situation
Leonardo DRS is a leading defense technology contractor, serving all arms of the U.S. military—Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy at a global scale. With laser focus, teams of engineers are committed to developing life-critical solutions for defense systems, surveillance intelligence, and communications networks.
In naval communications, always-on connectivity for voice and data transmission is of paramount importance. Antenna systems must transmit critical communications flawlessly 24/7, internally and externally, on a variety of naval watercraft for military expeditions worldwide.
To execute these missions, Leonardo DRS needed a cable supplier that could provide copper and RF cable assemblies rapidly for re-deployable antenna systems. The equipment had to be reliable, damage-resilient, and battle-ready.
Secure Mission-Ready, Shipboard Solutions
Understanding that Leonardo DRS’s primary concern was securing reliable, high-quality materials for antenna refurbishment services within tight lead times, Amphenol Custom Cable delivered on its promise to build and transport the required high-performance cable assemblies within a week. The copper and RF cables are used to refurbish antenna systems for six different platforms of naval ships around the globe, including battleships, destroyers, submarines, and aircraft carriers. After each ship mission, the antenna system is overhauled and reinstalled expeditiously for the next military operation.
To further improve efficiency and resiliency while lowering costs, Leonardo DRS consulted with Amphenol Custom Cable for the design of weatherized, ruggedized cable configurations to withstand severe maritime and weather conditions.
Specially designed to withstand marine conditions, custom copper and RF cable assemblies used to refurbish antenna systems for naval ships.
