Critical defense aircraft systems face implementation challenges when adding high-frequency and mmWave components operating from 27 to 75 GHz to deliver threat notifications and global situational awareness. Likewise, RF cables operating at higher frequencies face challenges with durability and installed performance over time.

SMA, 3.5 mm and 2.92 mm connectors make reliable, RF components and instrumentation possible. These seemingly mundane devices are the result of evolutionary and revolutionary design, covering a 40-year period and involving several corporations. In their present state, they represent highly evolved, well-defined interface systems.
