The Defence Technological and Industrial Bases is indispensable for maintaining peace and security. After all, it provides an armed force with services and equipment. If it does not, the armed forces are left hobbled. This also applies to the Dutch armed forces. Nevertheless, the defence and security sector is experiencing difficulties in accessing private finance. Referring to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria, companies in the sector would not be able to access private financing from pension institutions, insurers and financial service providers. Because of the same criteria, the sector is experiencing difficulties in opening accounts with private banks. Below is summary on the current state of the issue.

KMC Series includes high-density board to board and board to wire interconnect solutions available in multiple configurations from 26 to 162 positions with a 0.5mm contact diameter and is widely used in harsh environments. Space grade/ESA/ESCC qualified are also available.

When your missions take you into extreme environments, the Bell 412 will always have your back. With the cabin you need for passengers and cargo, nothing and no one will get left behind.

PBS TJ80-120 turbojet engine features a compact design and excellent thrust-to-weight ratio of 1,200 N at 12.8 kg including accessories, best in its category. Built-in BLDC starter-generator provides reliable starting and power to the deck network. Customisation possible (adjustment of hinges, length of outlet nozzle, etc.) Quick air-start under 7 seconds

The ACTUS® IR Flashlight emits a low output of less than 100mW with a wavelength range of 830 to 875 nm, classified as a Class 3B laser. Designed for reliable performance in extreme environments, it can withstand specific storage and operating temperature ranges. Powered by a single CR123A lithium battery, it offers extended operational time, while its robust 6061-T6 aluminum construction ensures durability. The lightweight, compact design makes it easy to carry and use in the field.

Ekinox Micro combines a high-performance MEMS inertial sensor with quad-constellation, multi- frequency dual-antenna GNSS receiver to provide unmatched accuracy even in the most challenging applications. Designed to operate in the harshest conditions, Ekinox Micro is military standard compliant, making it the ideal choice for any mission critical application.

Spring probes provide reliable electro-mechanical performance through hundreds of thousands of cycles. They are available in a variety of sizes, spring forces and terminations. Smiths Interconnect compression mount connectors utilizing spring probe technology offer tremendous advantages in reliability, performance and efficiency in comparison to conventional technologies like stamped metal, wire mesh, pin-and-socket or elastomer. Standard spring probes offering includes battery contact and connector probes designed to optimize contact performance in high-reliability, multiple-cycle interconnect applications.

The compact MD89MW-DroneCAN is a 13mm, metal gear, sub 1 oz micro servo with dual ball bearings, coreless metal brushed motor, and contactless magnetic encoder. This discrete package offers high performance and reliability for robotic and remote, unmanned aerial applications where space and weight are at a premium. Operating via DroneCAN (formerly UAVCAN) control at a wide voltage range from 4.8~7.4 volts, the unique MD89MW actuator produces impressive performance, with torque and speed numbers equal to servos weighing twice as much from just a few years ago. #UAV #UAS #UGV
