The Fibre Channel D-sub connector series features a multi-finger ground spring fixed around the shell provides a multi-point contact engagement that affords superior EMI shielding. The end result is extremely low contact resistance when measured from the contact outer body to the connector flange. The Fibre Channel D-Sub series also delivers superior performance ensuring minimal RF noise and high durability up to 1,000 mating cycles, while meeting and surpassing all requirements of MIL-STD-202 for shock and vibration. Offered with 150 Ohm quadrax contacts, the connectors are available with 2, 4, 6 or 8 way insert arrangements. Additionally, D-Sub connectors feature ease of assembly, and a robust and comprehensive training package. To ensure that the correct high speed connectors are mated to address specific wiring requirements and keying functions, a keyed jack post option has been incorporated into the design. The six-positioned post allows for 36 possible keying combinations assuring that the correct Fibre Channel D-Sub plug is mated to the correct high speed receptacle. Non-keyed jack post versions are available as well. Fibre Channel D-Sub connectors feature size 3 quadrax contacts which are 30% larger than the size 9 configuration utilized in the 100 Ohm quadrax, ensuring a matched impedance signal throughout the contact mated pair at 150 Ohm differential impedance. These features ensure that Smiths Interconnect's Fibre Channel D-Sub connectors deliver the critical edge customers require.

InspecX is a next-generation autonomous swarm inspection system for aircraft. It is addressing challenges in the $100B global aviation maintenance market. Airlines face a shortage of certified technicians, with Boeing projecting demand for over 700,000 by 2044. Aircraft-on-ground (AOG) incidents cost $10,000–$150,000 per hour, making downtime reduction critical. InspecX uses swarm coordination and LiDAR-based SLAM to perform safe inspections in GNSS-denied or indoor environments. It reduces required technicians from 9 to 3 and inspection time from 10 hours to 3, achieving over 50% cost savings for large aircraft. Beyond efficiency, InspecX helps airlines avoid AOG losses, accelerates maintenance cycles, and improves airworthiness. By maximizing fleet readiness and ensuring reliable operations, it provides a scalable, future-proof solution. InspecX is positioned to become the new global standard for aviation safety and maintenance in the era of intelligent mobility.

Patria OPTIME covers a broad range of services and solutions impacting the fleet availability, such as fleet maintenance, upcoming modification projects and needed integrations in the later stages of the lifecycle as well as supply chain management and training services. Patria OPTIME is a modular service model that is always tailored to the customer needs and requirements, and it is set up in phases together with the customer. Patria OPTIME combines top-notch engineering expertise with efficient data utilization in a unique way for the sustainment of military equipment. There is no comparable, comprehensive, manufacturer-independent and data-driven solution that can be deployed in all operating environments available from other market actors. It is a data-driven concept, which ensures the performance and cost-effective operation of the fleet. In the centre of the concept is data collection from the fleet usage and maintenance. Even during a crisis, the customer can count on Patria’s support. Patria’s service covers the entire lifecycle of the fleets The lifecycle for military fleets is typically decades-long – and thus, in addition to ordinary maintenance, repairs and overhauls, the fleets must undergo major upgrades, repairs and system/structural modifications during the lifecycle to fulfil required capabilities. Patria has strong experience and expertise in all these demanding activities – for land vehicles, aircraft and marine vessels. Patria OPTIME also covers the management of fleet MRO supply chains, as required by the customer. Data analysis makes it possible to anticipate the future need for spare parts and to optimally plan the deliveries and storage of these parts. The concept of operations of high-performance assets is also essential part of effective system usage. Patria can support this with years of experience in data collection from a range of fleets as part of mission support services. This brings exclusive offering for Patria’s training services. For instance, in Finland, Patria is responsible for elementary and basic pilot training for the Air Force, Army and Border Guard and provides training services for maintenance staff. Patria OPTIME is set up according to the customer’s requirements The specification of the Patria OPTIME solution begins with an assessment of the current state of the customer’s operating environment, equipment and sustainment solution as well as the requirements set for them. After a successful feasibility study, there will be a more thorough value proposal phase together with the customer. Patria OPTIME ensures the performance of different kinds of fleets in all conditions over their entire lifecycle.
