Fiber Optics For Aerospace And Defense

HUBER+SUHNER provides a comprehensive portfolio of fiber optic solutions tailored to the demanding environments of aerospace and defense applications. Leveraging decades of engineering excellence, the company delivers reliable, lightweight, and high-performance connectivity that meets stringent military and aviation standards. Their assemblies—including ARINC801, M29504, and M38999—offer low-smoke, halogen-free materials, corrosion-resistant metals, and precision-engineered interfaces to ensure safety, redundancy, and long service life in harsh conditions.
Beyond standard assemblies, HUBER+SUHNER offers complete system solutions. These include ruggedized GNSS-over-fiber links with galvanic isolation, fiber-based fly-by-light control modules for eVTOL aircraft, and flexible fiber shuffle boards enabling high-density optical routing. The company’s H3RO and IANOS platforms provide robust, modular infrastructure for shelter networks and field-deployable optical systems, ensuring efficient installation and maintenance.
For advanced applications, HUBER+SUHNER Polatis all-optical switches utilize Directlight® beam-steering for ultra-low-latency routing, while BKtel photonics lasers and amplifiers enable LIDAR, free-space optics, and spaceborne communications. Their hybrid RF-over-Fiber systems seamlessly integrate radio frequency and fiber optics, delivering EMI-immune, long-distance signal transport ideal for satellite and radar systems.
Backed by global manufacturing and EN9100, ISO 9001, and other key certifications, HUBER+SUHNER stands as a trusted partner in mission-critical connectivity. From aviation to defense shelters, and from ground stations to spacecraft, their solutions connect today’s systems—and the technologies of tomorrow—with reliability and precision.
