A practical guide to MIL-STD-1275 and the selection of power supplies and DC-DC Converters for military 28VDC vehicle systems. Learn why an 18-36VDC input range alone does not ensure suitability for the MIL-STD-1275 environment, and how to address Transients, Surges, voltage drops, and input protection requirements.
A practical guide to military power supplies and DC-DC converters for defense and aerospace applications. Learn how MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461 and MIL-STD-810 affect power supply design, including surge and transient protection, EMI/EMC filtering, thermal management, SWaP and environmental requirements.
How do you know if a liquid cooling system is really working as designed? From AI Data Centers to Radar, EW and Power Electronics, pressure monitoring can reveal changes inside the cooling circuit before temperature alone tells the full story. Discover how Variohm Pressure Sensors and Combined Pressure + Temperature Transducers can support smarter cooling system monitoring, condition monitoring and system protection.
A Tactical Grade IMU is tested when real-world conditions stop behaving like the lab. Explore how bias, bandwidth, latency, vibration, temperature, GNSS loss and sensor trust determine whether a Tactical IMU is truly right for the mission.
How can you operate an electrical system without bringing electricity to the point of operation? Discover how Herga Air, Pressure and Vacuum Switches use simple pneumatic signals to reduce wiring, separate user controls from electronics and provide reliable ON/OFF pressure or vacuum detection.
An autonomous combat aircraft is not simply a fighter with the pilot removed. From Tactical IMUs and GNSS-denied navigation to position feedback, temperature sensing, power monitoring and Edge AI, discover how the aircraft’s “nervous system” provides the reliable real-time data required for autonomy, fault detection and mission-aware decision-making.
Hydrogen presents unique challenges for pressure measurement – from material compatibility and Hydrogen Embrittlement to high operating pressures and demanding environmental conditions. This article explains how to select a pressure sensor for hydrogen systems, the differences between Nominal Pressure, Overpressure, and Burst Pressure, and how the EPT92H2 with EC79 and EC406 approvals supports hydrogen applications up to 1,000 bar.
When operators need to communicate while continuing to work with a keyboard, mouse, joystick, or other controls, a hand-operated Push-to-Talk button can interrupt the workflow. A foot-operated PTT solution such as the Herga 6289 Treadle Footswitch moves communication control from the hands to the foot, enabling parallel operation. This article explores how foot-operated PTT can be integrated into Command & Control systems, Ground Control Stations, operator consoles, and other mission-oriented systems using electrical contacts or USB.
Temperature monitoring in Battery Packs is not limited to electric vehicles. An NTC sensor mounted directly on a battery cell can help the BMS detect Hot Spots, monitor temperature differences and support effective thermal management. This article examines the Variohm Eurosensor ETP-ST-21-35-B57861S0103A039, an NTC 10K Sleeve Temperature Sensor designed for cylindrical cells, and explores its relevance to UAVs, robotics, defense systems, ESS and industrial applications.
A dirty endoscope lens is more than an optical problem – it is an engineering challenge involving visibility, workflow, and Human-Machine Interface design. Pneumatic Foot Bellows can provide hands-free control of lens cleaning functions, allowing physicians to maintain control of the endoscope while quickly restoring a clear view.
