Curtiss-Wright’s Defence Solutions division has expanded the capability of its TCG MIDS JTRS Terminal Housing and Control Case solution to add support for the Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT) tactical waveform.
The addition of TTNT capability to the
enhanced terminal housing case (THC) provides users with greater operational network functionality, flexibility, and performance. TTNT is a secure, low latency waveform that provides mesh networking in the battlefield. For customers that require a low cost and low size, weight and power (SWaP) THC solution, Curtiss-Wright’s TCG MIDS JTRS
optional computer with slide-out dual screen, UPS units, power amplifiers, voice modules and antennas.

ENCLOSURES FOR EV BATTERIES
Solvay’s Battery Enclosure Materials Automation (BEMA) project for developing an all-composite solution for energy efficient battery packs has won major funding by Innovate UK as part of UK Research and Innovation. This collaboration with Airborne, a technology leader in
advanced composites manufacturing using automation and digitalisation, has already received letters of support from Jaguar Land Rover and Vertical Aerospace. They see great potential in the design of more compact and lightweight enclosures for high-energy batteries in future electric cars and aircraft, and are interested in the sustainability aspect of this project which aims to reuse composite waste. Mark Wright, EMEA sales manager, Automotive, at Solvay
Materials, said: “While already lending structural and weight saving advantages over metals in existing EVs and aircraft, fully composite battery designs for larger production volumes have yet to show their technical and manufacturing feasibility. BEMA seeks to deliver on these challenges by combining the benefits of Solvay’s advanced thermosetting material technology with Airborne’s expertise in flexible automated composite manufacturing systems to create lightweight next-generation battery packs.”

New from FDB Panel Fittings, the DIRAK over-centre toggle latches offer a high retaining force with low manual effort, simply by tightening two spring loaded components together and locking them. Available are the clip-on PA Over Centre
OVER-CENTRE TOGGLE LATCH RANGE When used on sheet metal thicknesses
Toggle Latch 6-240; the stainless steel variant 7-320 with push button unlocking; and the latch 7-320.01 which features an additional spring clamp. Over-centre toggle catches of this type
are useful for enclosure doors, machine access panels, equipment housings, packing cases and other applications where firm closure is required. In particular the 6-240 Polyamide (PA) Secure toggle latch saves time and assembly costs with clip-in toolless assembly to provide secure clamping via the over-centre mechanism which offers a max. closing force of 250N.

in a side-by-side configuration. The new cabinets are suited to network and server equipment
and provide maximum capacity to manage high cable density in data centre, enterprise or co-location deployment. Available with lockable door solutions, customers can securely house 19” rack mount IT equipment, providing extensive cable management options within a thermal efficient cabinet suitable for hot aisle/cold aisle or thermal containment deployment.
