Connect with Mission Critical Reliability
In combat theater situations, you can trust TE components and solutions to make the connections you rely on.
Simplifying systems and advancing capabilities. Nothing is more important on or off the battlefield than reliable military systems. They require efficient use of space without sacrificing reliability, adding unnecessary weight or compromising mission effectiveness. TE Connectivity (TE)'s expertise in interconnection products and systems helps ensure complete system compatibility for challenging applications in defense environments. Complexity of weapons systems, power distribution, networking and soldier systems is growing rapidly. TE helps to simplify interconnections, increase performance, and enhance reliability to achieve greater accuracy, faster response and better communications.

As you look toward a holistic approach to system integration, count on TE for solutions and expertise in every system from avionics and flight control, to power and weapons systems, to electronic warfare and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Fixed and Rotary Wing
Setting new direction in flight control
Modern flight controls combine mechanical, hydraulic, and increasingly fly-by-wire systems to manage flight control surfaces, landing gear, and other mechanisms. As the sophistication of these controls increases, so do the requirements for faster processing speeds and smaller, lighter, and more reliable solenoids, sensors, and actuators.
Success in today’s rugged avionics environment is more than a thorough understanding of your own products. Success demands an equally sophisticated understanding of the application and how well your product interacts as part of an overall integrated system. At TE, we understand complex system protocols, key electrical parameter requirements, and overall mechanical performance requirements of the military aerospace market.

Missile Defense
Compact and Intelligent Design
Survivable Solutions in Harsh Environments
TE is helping designers create missile defense systems that are smarter, smaller, lighter, and more reliable. While a missile needs only to work once, every missile must be ready to perform.
Seeker Guidance
Bandwidth for Precision Targeting
As the sophistication of sensors grows and systems use multiple sensors, the data they provide becomes more complex. Connectivity to handle the data is moving from Gigabit Ethernet to 10G in networking, while signal processing systems need to pack more bandwidth into smaller packages.
Warheads
Mission Critical Reliability
Our connectors are designed for quick and reliable release of the store from the aircraft. Reliability is maximized with TE precision relays and timers to help confirm the payload is delivered on target.
Control Systems
Making it Work Together Flawlessly
Flight controls must monitor airframe dynamics and adjust flight parameters. Control systems deal with every section of the missile. They must be well protected against EMI, not only generated within the system but from external countermeasure sources.
TE is helping designers create missile defense systems that are smarter, smaller, lighter, and more reliable. While a missile needs only to work once, every missile must be ready to perform flawlessly at a moment’s notice. All subsystems must be reliable and easily maintainable to keep the missile mission ready.

Unmanned Vehicles (UAV)
Intelligent Remote Communication Systems
Fly Higher, Stay Longer
Unmanned aerial systes, ranging from 60-foot wing spans on high altitude platforms to the size of a small hummingbird, require innovative solutions to meet the mission requirements of long flight times, advanced intelligence-gathering capabilities, and weapons delivery.
Unmanned vehicles have become an important mainstay in modern battle spaces, and next-generation systems will continue to be required to do more with less size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP). Reducing SWaP is vital to longer mission deployments, greater fuel efficiency, and the ability to add additional surveillance and combat capabilities.
