Optronic Mast System
Application:
Multi-spectral camera integrated into a submarine mast.
Background:
The customer has been using Harwin Connectors for many years, trusting the high-reliability connectors in the defense environment and their long-term availability.
The Challenge:
The new optronic system was an upgrade from a single HD camera to a 4k visible and short-wave infra-red camera with multiple sensors for all-light/all-weather conditions. The mast had to stay the same size, but the camera required more connections, so space was a major issue.
Harwin Solution:
Gecko-SL met the smaller size requirements, while still delivering the high-reliability performance expected for the environmental conditions.
