Herisau, 07 February 2017– HUBER+SUHNER, leading international manufacturer and supplier of components and systems for electrical and optical connectivity, will demonstrate its wide range of ground-breaking defence products and solutions at the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) 2017 in Abu Dhabi. 

Providing a complete offering that meets current and future requirements, the Swiss company will be revealing why its turn-key approach is a major differentiator in the fast-growing defence market. It will be exhibiting its products for use in harsh environments, focusing on solutions for Command and Control, Airborne, and Convoy Jamming.

Among the Airborne solutions displayed at the HUBER+SUHNER stand (08-B30) will include its self-locking connectors, a simple and easy to use solution that eliminates the need for lockwire and safety wire that can lead to potential foreign object debris in an aircraft. The EACON (EAsy CONnection) assemblies will also be on display, showcasing a simple solution for a flexible and fast field-termination of microwave cable assemblies, without compromising high performance. 

The HUBER+SUHNER direct GPS-over-Fiber solutions perfectly address the power supply challenges within a GPS system by making use of its newly developed Power-over-Fiber technology. This new technology not only enables system improvements by eliminating all copper within the link, but also reduces the amount of hardware within the system by integrating the transmission functionality into the antenna.

Also on display at the stand will be the SENCITY shield, which is specifically developed to meet today’s challenging requirements for electronic countermeasure (ECM) missions in military and security applications. The low profile, shark fin design ensures low visibility while still providing exceptional electrical performance in terms of horizontal gain and high power capabilities. 

“IDEX is the only international defence exhibition in the MENA region, representing the latest technology across land, sea and air sectors of defence. As HUBER+SUHNER expands its airborne and defence portfolio, IDEX presents a unique platform for us to establish and strengthen relationships with government departments, businesses and armed forces throughout the MENA region,” said Patric Keller, Market Manager Aerospace+Defense.
