Microwave/RF assemblies for military and civil aircraft from W. L. Gore & Associates are engineered with rugged features to maintain signal integrity even with the mechanical stress of vibration, acceleration loads, installation and maintenance.

With Gore's cable installation simulator, military and civil aircraft manufacturers can be confident they're getting a reliable cable assembly solution that withstands the rigors of routing and reduces the total cost of ownership.

To improve in-flight connectivity to wireless networks, choose W. L. Gore & Associates’ leaky feeder antennas. While passengers enjoy easy access to the Internet, email and in-flight entertainment, aircraft benefit from better signal propagation and reduced hardware required in the cabin for reliable connectivity.

Passengers expect easy access to Internet servers, emails, social media and in-flight entertainment while airborne -- regardless of where they sit on the plane. Built for both wide-body and single-aisle civilian aircraft, W. L. Gore & Associates offers a single solution that reliably provides airborne connectivity and mobile satellite coverage during travel. 

When choosing military aircraft components, lasting performance is always a top consideration. Yet while many cables perform dependably prior to installation, the challenges of routing leave them damaged and ill-prepared for the rigors of the aircraft’s flight envelope. That’s why W. L. Gore & Associates developed an installation simulator to prove their microwave assemblies delivered the same reliability before and after installation.

The importance of a microwave cable assembly’s shielding effectiveness cannot be understated. Across defense, civil, and aerospace applications, it impacts the system performance of the aircraft and could impede upon data transmission capabilities.
