MQ-9B SkyGuardian® is the next generation of remotely piloted
aircraft systems (RPAS), delivering persistent intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) around the globe.
SkyGuardian is designed to fly over the horizon via satellite for up
to 40 hours in all types of weather and safely integrate into civil
airspace, enabling joint forces and civil authorities to deliver real-time
situational awareness anywhere in the world—day or night. Featuring
a longer wingspan than its predecessors at 79 ft (24 m), the aircraft is
outfitted with the revolutionary Lynx® Multi-mode Radar, an advanced
electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor, and automatic takeoff and
landing capability. In addition to its industry-leading endurance and
superior surveillance capabilities, SkyGuardian seamlessly integrates
with its users’ other platforms, systems, and podded technologies,
dramatically expanding the aircraft's multi-domain mission set

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.

Global Wideband Connectivity for Mission Success Honeywell’s JetWave MCX satellite communications system delivers the world’s most advanced high-speed SATCOM capabilities needed for the most demanding mission profiles. It enables global in-flight broadband data connectivity on nearly any Ka-band network – including Inmarsat’s Global Xpress (GX) network, Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS), and other commercial and military Ka-band networks – making it truly network-agnostic for the most extensive global coverage. Built on proven, high-speed JetWave technology, JetWave MCX utilizes a wider frequency band (29-31 GHz Tx and 19.2-21.2 GHz Rx), offering access to commercial and military Ka-bands globally. And the dual polarity configuration provides increased bandwidth in high-traffic areas while meeting high-data uplink requirements that military and government operators require. JetWave MCX is designed with “future-proofing” in mind, exceeding current connectivity requirements while enabling expanded customer connectivity needs in the future. For the unique requirements of military and government operators, JetWave MCX can enable a wide variety of mission-critical applications, such as en-route mission communications, real-time weather, in-flight video conferencing, large file transfer, in-flight mission planning and briefings, ISR video transmission, and secure communications. We offer specialized data packages for ISR missions, making use of the increased upload speed capabilities. Single-IP address network-switching capabilities enable seamless connectivity for users globally, while access to resilient modem waveforms offers additional security and jam-resistance in hostile environments. JetWave MCX’s high-bandwidth capabilities can transform the aircraft into an “airborne communications node” by receiving data simultaneously from multiple sources – such as UAVs or ground forces – then processing and amalgamating the data for airborne Command and Control or for transmission to ground control. No matter the mission profile, JetWave MCX offers the resiliency, bandwidth, and network-agnostic capabilities needed to enable mission success.

As domains converge and connect, new threats and opportunities emerge. By giving our service members every advantage for operational success, we create a safer world. It is this mission that drives our relentless innovation in defense technology. With our integrated expertise and capabilities, Raytheon Technologies is uniquely positioned to give our customers the advantage in every moment.

Interconnect Wire Harness and Cable Assemblies are the connectivity backbone of electronic systems. Fabricated in a factory setting, build-to-print wire harness assemblies enable the OEM manufacturer to reduce the time and expense of in situ interconnection of electronic devices used in complex air, sea, land and space applications.

A super-evolution of the original platform brought about by the present-day tactical requirements and offering specialized features and functions specifically designed and fitted to provide top-notch efficiency, high operating speeds, a low recoil impulse, and a decisive and consistent feel. We took special care to design a weapon that offers very fast emergency reloads even in the most demanding of environments and situations, such as sports shooting, law enforcement or civil defense. The entire furniture set is AK compatible and thus the weapon can be fully configured to fit and use a wide array of accessories, making it suited for any preferences and all tasks.

Haigh-Farr designs support hardware to work hand-in-hand with our solutions to maximize performance. Our support hardware utilizes the same well-proven construction as the antennas they support. Power Dividers, Combiners, Hybrids & Diplexers
