Future-Proofing Drones Against EW | MIL-STD-461 Compliance
Electronic warfare (EW) threats are evolving rapidly, forcing UAV designers to rethink how they protect critical communication and data systems. As adversaries deploy more sophisticated jamming, interception and directed energy capabilities, traditional RF architectures are becoming increasingly vulnerable.... Read more
Filtering Out Co-Site Interference in Multi-Role Drones
Modern multi-role UAVs integrate a wide range of communication systems, including command and control (C2), intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), telemetry and payload data links. While this capability increases mission flexibility, it also introduces a significant RF challenge: co-site interference.... Read more
Fiber Optics vs. Copper in High-EW Environments
Unmanned aerial vehicles operating in contested environments must maintain reliable data transmission despite intense electromagnetic interference. Electronic warfare (EW) systems are specifically designed to disrupt communications, making internal networking a critical vulnerability.... Read more
Defending GPS Links from Spoofing and Jamming
Unmanned aerial vehicles rely heavily on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals for positioning, navigation and timing. In contested environments, these signals are increasingly targeted by adversaries using jamming and spoofing techniques.... Read more
Selecting the Right Fiber Patch Cables for High-Speed Networks
As network speeds continue to climb, component selection plays a bigger role in overall performance. For system integrators, choosing fiber patch cables for high-speed networks directly affects signal integrity, compatibility, and long-term reliability in the data center.... Read more
Common Fiber Deployment Mistakes System Integrators Should Avoid
In high-density data center environments, precision is critical. For system integrators, even minor installation errors can lead to performance issues, delays, or costly rework.

Pre-Terminated Fiber vs Field Termination: Reducing Deployment Risk
System integrators are under increasing pressure to deploy high-performance connectivity quickly and accurately. One of the most critical decisions affecting deployment speed and reliability is choosing between pre-terminated fiber vs field termination. In modern data center environments, even minor termination errors can lead to signal loss, delays, and costly rework.... Read more
MPO vs LC Fiber: When to Use Aggregation Assemblies vs Patch Cables
As data center environments scale in density and complexity, system integrators must make critical decisions about fiber architecture. Choosing between MPO and LC (Lucent Connector) fiber impacts compatibility, scalability, and deployment efficiency. Understanding how each solution fits within a modern data center helps ensure networks remain flexible, efficient, and ready for future growth.... Read more
Managing Fiber Routing in High-Density Environments
Efficient fiber routing is critical in modern high-density data center environments, where increasing port counts and limited rack space demand precision and consistency. Dense routing introduces a higher risk of cable damage and signal loss, making structured design and component selection essential. A well-planned approach helps system integrators maintain performance, improve organization, and support long-term scalability.... Read more
