Program applications — 01

The integration layer
behind counter-UAS.

Counter-UAS capability is increasingly assembled as a system of systems — sensors, command and control, power and effectors from different providers, joined through open interfaces. LIGHTNX supports the electrical, mechanical and supply-chain infrastructure that makes those pieces work together.

  • Vehicle-mounted
  • Fixed site
  • Transportable

Many providers. One installation that has to work.

Every sensor, processor and power source in a counter-UAS installation has to be powered, connected, mounted, protected and documented — on a vehicle, a fixed site or a transportable kit. That integration work is where LIGHTNX engineering, sourcing and supplier coordination apply.

How LIGHTNX can support

Support capabilities.

Scope is defined per requirement and may be performed by LIGHTNX or by qualified manufacturing partners under LIGHTNX coordination.

01

Electrical harnessing

Power, signal and data harnesses designed or built to print for sensor, processing and power subsystems.

02

Sensor interconnects

Cable assemblies and connector systems for radar, EO/IR, RF and communications equipment.

03

Power distribution

Protected DC distribution, power harnessing and distribution assemblies for mobile and fixed installations.

04

Rugged electronics enclosures

Enclosures, junction and interface boxes, connector panels and their internal harnessing.

05

Equipment mounting

Brackets, mounting plates, racks and installation hardware coordinated with the platform envelope.

06

Vehicle integration kits

Cable routing, mounting and installation hardware packaged as a documented kit.

07

Build-to-print assemblies

Customer-designed assemblies produced by qualified manufacturing partners to the released technical package.

08

Test equipment & documentation

Test harnesses, breakout boxes and the inspection, test and configuration record that ships with the hardware.

Boundary

LIGHTNX does not develop weapons, effectors, targeting systems or directed-energy technology. We support the electrical, mechanical and supply-chain infrastructure of systems designed by the program and its system integrators.

Program applications describe where LIGHTNX capabilities can support. They do not describe completed or current contracts, customers or programs.
