A combination of three digital technologies is driving the new revolution: ubiquitous full-spectrum sensors, 5G networks, and artificial intelligence, Fischer Connectors in “The Connectivity Challenge.”
At the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition in Washington, D.C., Jonathan Brossard, CEO of the Switzerland-based Fischer Connectors Group, said, “Army Transformation is facing a revolution in military affairs, and Fischer Connectors is transforming products and services to address the Army’s needs.”
He further added, "Soldier connectivity is a critical enabler for command and control improvement. Fischer Connectors, in collaboration with our Army partners, is focusing on using emerging technology to improve soldier connectivity.”
The next-generation hub, which integrates the power and data flow from several digital devices – sights, radios, displays, and batteries – in a lightweight ergonomic component, is at the heart of the individual soldier’s wearable connectivity solution. Fischer Connectors improves its widely used UltiMate and MiniMax connection designs to suit the technical needs of integrated dismounted leader situational awareness (SA) systems like the US Army’s Nett Warrior to connect all of the soldier’s worn electronics.
“Land forces are facing a new revolution in military affairs, based on three digital technologies: omnipresent sensors, 5G networks, and artificial intelligence. o assist land force commanders in dealing with this change, Fischer Connectors has created innovative connectivity options,” stated Jack Midgley, Global Defense Market Leader for Fischer Connectors Group.
"Commanders will need high-speed, high-volume data transfer, enhanced power management, and wearability to take advantage of new sensors, networks, and AI applications. Fischer Connectors has up to the occasion with Swiss-engineered products that exceed stringent Army requirements”, added Mr Midgley.
Fischer Connectors’ experts in soldier modernization connectivity described the new revolution in military affairs in the Trend Paper titled ‘The Connectivity Challenge – A New Revolution in Military Affairs,’ which was released as a world premiere at AUSA.
