The US Navy has awarded a contract to Agiltron to provide high-reliability mechanical fibre-optic splice kits for flight line technicians to repair and maintain mission critical aircraft.

The fibre-optic splice kit provides rugged fibre splices that satisfy the low optical loss and operational reliability requirements of military optical fibre network environments.

Using the kit, a fibre-optic link broken due to battle damage or wear can be permanently repaired to its original performance.

The splice kit has completed military and aerospace environmental testing and verification of its extreme operating temperature range at the technology readiness level.
