    1. 6/22/2004 1 Next Generation Heavy Duty Fiber Optic Connector (NG Con) Gair Brown NSWCDD Code B35 Browngd@nswc.navy.mil Michael J. Hackert NAVAIR 4.5.3.3 Michael.Hackert@NAVY.mil 301-342-9124

    2. 6/22/2004 2 NG Con Background Objective: Develop a heavy duty multi-fiber connector Inter- operability and Inter-changeability Use LC technology Low cost objective $5 target terminus Utilize best engineering practices / features (e.g. 38999, 28876, etc.) to give lowest total ownership cost (TOC) NAVSEA initiated replacement for shipboard applications Extend to aerospace application both military and commercial Navy development, specification and qualification support

    3. 6/22/2004 3 Participants Wide industry participation including users and suppliers

    4. 6/22/2004 4 Progress to Date Stereotypical standards development Glacial standard follows development NG Con modern development pace Supersonic Fast track to develop industry consensus Quarterly meetings 6/25-26/04 next meeting Annapolis, MD Shell run-off / selection 3/2-3/04 Annapolis, MD Terminus run-off / selection 12/9-10/03 Washington, DC 9/4-5/03 Patuxent River, MD 5/6-8/03 Annapolis, MD 2/25-26/03 Washington, DC 11/14-15/02 Dahlgren, VA

    5. 6/22/2004 5 Terminus Proposals Souriau Radial Delphi

    6. 6/22/2004 6 NG Con Terminus

    7. 6/22/2004 7 Terminus Comparison

    8. 6/22/2004 8 NG Con Shell Draft

    9. 6/22/2004 9 NG Con Shell Draft (continued)

    10. 6/22/2004 10 Key Benefits Maintainability (reduced TOC) Significant improvement especially cleaning Major cost reduction Reduced weight and space small Commonality = qualification, training, repair and maintenance, logistics Air and sea Military and commercial True multi vendor development and supply Modular design Maximize applicability and interchangeability Genderless terminus Accommodate multiple cable designs

    11. 6/22/2004 11 Key Features LC performance anticipated Benefits from commercial development Pull resistant Optical continuity maintained Seal and clip on terminus Enables visual inspection Full mate indicator Tactile objective Potential tool-less removal

    12. 6/22/2004 12 Requirements Inter-changeable Inter-operable parts Multimode and Single-mode capable (125 mm OD) Temperature range Type 1 -40 to +85 degrees C operational Type 2 - -55 to +125 degrees C operational Future thermal ranges 55 to +165 degrees C operational (we need to validate 165) 55 to +200 degrees C - operational Atmospheric sealing EMI /RFI Shock and Vibration Naval and aerospace Keying option on terminus

    13. 6/22/2004 13 Assumptions 1 Rear release terminus Removable Alignment Sleeve Retainer (ASR) Equivalent to standard telecom bushing interchangeable part Screw holds ASR during shock and vibration Screw pushes ASR off terminus for removal ASR preferred position on receptacle Alignment sequence coarse to fine Overall shell / keys, alignment pins, alignment sleeves ASR screw, alignment pins, alignment sleeves, fiber Designed to avoid end face damage and alignment pin bending

    14. 6/22/2004 14 Assumptions 2 Plug receptacle connection sealed No interfacial seal Optional rear grommet seal / accessory Anti decoupling built into design Receptacle and plug termini protrusion same Implies similar insert dimensioning Inserts Design allows removable or integral Removable inserts are genderless and retained without backshell (modular design) Bottoming Insert-to-insert required, shell-to-shell desired

    15. 6/22/2004 15 Timeline Weekly teleconferences until 4/14 Additional working teleconferences 4/1 April Boeing commercial meeting 4/14-16 ARINC FOG 4/14 Evening working session 4/27 ARINC AEEC terminus decision 5/7 Shell system design drawings 6/24-25 NG Con meeting (ARINC Annapolis)

    16. 6/22/2004 16 Conclusion US Navy is developing this technology Qualification will be done Requirements include both shipboard and aerospace Maintenance and training will be developed US Navy volume will drive cost reduction Manufacturers designing the costs out MANTECH sponsored development likely

    17. 6/22/2004 17 Additional Aerospace Requirements Temperature range -55 - + 125C (current Type II) -65 - + 200 C (replace two future options) Low profile rear grommet Cable types OC1060, OFS Flightguide, Tensilite Shock and vibration 38999 Series 3, 1344 Method D (300 G, 300 ms) Full mate Visual indicator ring required for fleet maintainers Backshell utilize 38999 family of backshells Durability 500 mates / demates
