GORE® SKYFLEX® Aerospace Materials are a portfolio of unique, commercially-available material sets, forms and sizes with a wide range of engineered properties and specifications. Gore’s tapes and gaskets are specified by leading civil and defense aircraft OEMs and solve many challenges such as sealing, abrasion, corrosion and gap filling. These materials can also withstand a wide range of temperatures.

MDCX, multipin coax connectors, offer low VSWR of 1.25:1 (typ) up to 10 GHz (max mated pair), maximum overall diameter of 0.125" fitted into low-profile micro-D housing, with constant 50 Ohm airline impedance. MDCX coaxial contacts are compact in size allowing multiple high density connections in a Micro-D style shell for applications where space and weight savings are important. No cumbersome spring mounts are required. These connectors are also available with locking post mechanisms or blindmate hardware attachment.

Combined laser scan/video scope technology for gun barrel inspection, superior measuring results: With the RIB 4D, Kappa presents a new, high-performance system for large-caliber weapon barrel inspection designed for troops evaluating actual and post-firing status and calculating remaining service life. 3D Laser Scanner and 360° Videos: Within the completely newly designed RIB 4D measuring head, the entire bandwidth of the newest image-generating technology for seamless, complete barrel inspection is used. A supersensitive laser scan generates a detail-rich point cloud. In addition, 8 CMOS sensors provide the viewer with brilliant 360° videos of the barrel’s interior surfaces. The highly precise barrel digitization offers a comprehensive data basis for secure assessment of a barrel interior’s condition. Keeping it simple: only one operator required Simple handling means that just one person can operate the entire system. Independent of the operator, the automatic system delivers clear and reproducible measurement results. The barrel digitization is the reliable data basis for the subsequent location-independant assessment of the barrel condition. The compact system is designed for versatile use. One system for multiple barrel types and diameters RIB 4D is made for smooth and rifled barrels. With adapter rings, the system can easily be used for different calibers. The current RIB 4D version covers the range from 120 mm to 155 mm. Another version for smaller diameters is in preparation. Ultra-fast fully-automated barrel digitization (< 30 min.) The RIB 4D completes the entire high-resolution and precise measurement of the inside of the gun barrel sensationally fast in under 30 minutes (example Leopard 2), which speeds up and largely automates maintenance for system users and thus simplifies it to a great extent. Interactive Software for Reliable Assessment: The extensive data of the inspected surface is analyzed in the user-friendly application software and can be documented and evaluated as a report according to the service regulation TDv018. The interactive interface supports the detection and measurement of critical damaged areas and the final evaluation of the barrel condition and the determination of the remaining service life. Digitization of the inner barrel surface and precise measurement of damaged areas: The analysis covers erosion, corrosion, damage to the chrome coating including diameter measurement of the fields and lands and groves on rifled barrels. Complete solution all-in-one: The non-contact RIB 4B inspection system consists of the sensor head, the drive unit, the container with the drive chain, the server, the analysis laptop and extensive accessories. An unrivaled level of experience: We are the pioneering supplier in the area of gun barrel inspection; we know our customers’ requirements inside and out. Rely on our state-of-the-art systems based on modern technologies and decades of experience. Versatile use: Suitable for all smooth and rifled tubes in diameters between 120 mm and 155 mm used in tanks, artillery systems and naval guns. Reliable detection of damage Precise scanning of the damaged areas - quick location - simple measurement The system includes the noxRIB4D application software for system control, surface inspection and reporting. In the first step, the pipe is completely digitized on site with RIB 4D. Based on the data, the subsequent analysis can be carried out in the software independent of location. The noxRIB4D software offers two analysis screens, the Heat Map and the Intensity Map, for precise damage analysis. Finally, the analysis results are reported in Excel or TDv018 with evaluation of the barrel condition. COTS product: Direct market availability RIB 4D for 120 mm and 155 mm. Other diameter sizes with minor adjustments without new development.

AI Navigation Algorithm Certus features Advanced Navigation’s revolutionary AI neural network sensor fusion algorithm. It was designed for control applications and has a high level of health monitoring and instability prevention to ensure stable and reliable data. High-Performance MEMS Certus contains high performance MEMS sensors that are put through Advanced Navigation’s intensive 8 hour temperature calibration process. This provides the highest accuracy possible from this sensor class and outputs consistent accuracy over the full temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. Dual Antenna RTK GNSS Certus contains a dual frequency RTK GNSS receiver that provides up to 1 cm accuracy positioning and supports all of the current and future satellite navigation systems, including GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BeiDou and QZSS. Dual antenna heading provides high accuracy heading that is not impacted by magnetic interference and has no motion requirements. Time Synchronization Certus contains a GNSS disciplined oscillator that can act as the primary time source within a distributed time system, enabling access to ultra-accurate system time using PTP or NTP network time sync. Certus also has a high-accuracy 1PPS and frequency output. Multi-Protocol Support Certus features multiple interfaces including Ethernet, CAN, RS232, RS422 and GPIOs. Certus supports all the industry standard protocols including NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, TSS, PASHR, Simrad as well as a wide variety of proprietary protocols.
