LIGHTNX Defense
Illustrative: aged wire harnesses and connectors in a legacy equipment bay
Program applications — 04

Extend platform life.

Installed fleets age from the inside: harnesses, connectors, relays, power supplies and electronics reach end of life long before the platform does. LIGHTNX connects obsolescence sourcing to engineering — so a part that can no longer be found can become a documented replacement solution.

  • Aviation
  • Land
  • Maritime

From “we found the part” to “we solved the problem.”

Sustainment starts with locating obsolete and hard-to-find items. When a part cannot be sourced responsibly, LIGHTNX reviews the technical data and coordinates a form-fit-function replacement — harness, connector transition, assembly or mounting redesign — for the customer’s engineering approval.

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

Aging electrical architecture

Review of legacy harnesses and wiring documentation against the current configuration.

02

Harness replacement

Replacement harnesses and cable assemblies built to legacy or updated drawings.

03

Obsolete components

Location of obsolete, end-of-life and hard-to-find items through evaluated supply channels.

04

Connector transitions

Connector and contact transitions where original parts are no longer available.

05

Replacement assemblies

Form-fit-function replacement assemblies coordinated for customer approval.

06

Mounting redesign

Bracket and mounting redesign where replacement equipment changes the envelope.

07

Technical-data review

Legacy drawings and specifications reviewed for gaps before a replacement is defined.

08

Sustainment sourcing

Recurring supply of sustainment items with documentation suited to the requirement.

Integration package

The layer LIGHTNX can own.

The replacement path when an obsolete item cannot be sourced. Approval authority remains with the customer.

Boundary

Engineering changes to fielded platforms are approved by the customer or design authority. LIGHTNX prepares and supports the replacement definition; it does not assume design authority for a platform.

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