Development Trends And Challenges Of Military Heavy-duty Connectors Driven By Future War Requirements

The new military revolution has spawned new heavy duty male female connector technologies and performance, and has become the most important engine for the continuous development of high-tech heavy duty multi pin connectors. From the early 1990s to the beginning of the new century, the United States has launched four local wars under high-tech conditions, from the "electronic warfare" born in the Gulf War to the "information warfare" that emerged in the Kosovo War to the "network-centric warfare" demonstrated in the recent Iraq War, which vividly demonstrated the tremendous power of the world's new military revolution. Supporting these high-tech wars are a large number of new high-performance weapons and equipment that are information-based and intelligent. Such new military equipment and facilities will inevitably put forward new or higher requirements for the performance of various components including heavy connector that are equipped with them. According to a research report by Fleck Research, a well-known American market research company, most of the world's heavy duty cable connectors manufacturers reported that the application of military/aerospace fields is growing, and reconnaissance aircraft, missiles and smart bombs are the main factors leading to the continued growth of heavy power connector. In the Iraq War, laser-guided bombs and satellite-guided bombs increased by two times, replacing weapons in the Afghanistan War. Generally, fighter planes are loaded with cluster bombs, free-drop bombs and laser-guided bombs, which require the heavy duty wire connectors to be separated and the wire connector heavy duty to be dropped during flight.
