GORE® MIL-STD-1760 Assemblies for Defense Aircraft
The only sealed hybrid solution proven over time to solve common challenges with aircraft pylon installation and critical operations at a cost you can afford.
Affordable, Easy to Install, Flight Proven
Robust, highly flexible GORE® MIL-STD-1760 Assemblies with the L3 Harris connector system deliver consistent disconnect loads and can guarantee 100 fully high-speed instrumental drops. They can be easily installed in tight pylon spaces and are flight-proven on many military aircraft platforms, making them an ideal replacement for standard umbilical assemblies.
Proven Safe Operations with High Flex Life
Compared to standard umbilicals, GORE MIL-STD-1760 Assemblies are manufactured with distinct features that make them more robust in challenging aircraft pylon conditions, including:
- highly flexible, sealed hybrid assembly
- chemically inert, temperature-stable materials
- electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials
Our military aircraft umbilical cable assembly offers a host of benefits that improve their overall performance in the harshest operational conditions and maintenance activities, like:
- guaranteed 100 ejected releases
- superior EMI protection with at least 85% optical coverage
- excellent electrical and mechanical performance in extreme conditions
- easy installation and extended operation from proven high flex life >100,000
- fully tested, qualified and certified for 500 manual disconnects
- less maintenance, downtime and replacement costs
- a variety of wire types with a smaller cross-sectional diameter
- a variety of connectors (standard shell size 25, 17, 15 stores with relevant inserts)
- flight-proven on many airborne platforms with 100% successful store releases
- Class I & II standard versions or customized options
Thoroughly Tested Across Multiple Platforms
We thoroughly test and qualify our airborne assemblies according to the MIL-STD-1760 specification, MIL-STD-810 and other standards. They’re certified for more than 100 ejected releases and 400 manual disconnects.
Introduced to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the 1990s, GORE MIL-STD-1760 Assemblies have delivered 100% successful store releases on many defense airborne platforms, including:
- A-10 Warthog
- B-1B, B-2
