Lightweight, flexible airframe assemblies from Gore are a fit-and-forget solution proven to deliver the lowest insertion loss after installation, during use, and over time. Our rugged assemblies improve all aspects of protection and performance in demanding conditions ensuring mission-critical success, less downtime, and total cost of ownership.
Extreme aerospace conditions can compromise the performance of airframe cable assemblies. Aside from the challenges of installation, rigorous flight conditions bring rapid temperature and pressure changes, as well as potential contamination from fuels, oils and fluids. Maintaining signal integrity in these tough environments is essential to ensuring the reliability of an aircraft’s sophisticated electronic systems.
GORE-FLIGHT® Microwave Assemblies for Aircraft are lightweight, durable and proven to improve fuel efficiency and increase payload while reducing operating costs.
In today’s military aircraft and future fleets, higher frequency millimeter wave (mmWave) components are being added to electronic warfare (EW) and aircraft survivability equipment (ASE). These components and systems require microwave/RF assemblies to operate within Ka-band frequencies from 26 to 40 GHz and V-band frequencies from 40 to 75 GHz. Microwave/RF assemblies are also susceptible to electrical challenges and mechanical stresses due to damage from installation and harsh environmental conditions. These conditions can cause interference in the signal transmission and errors within the aircraft systems.
