FEATURES

One of the most exciting advancement in technology over

the last decade has been unmanned vehicles including:

• Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or Drones

• Land autonomous vehicles (UGVs)

• Robots

• Other unmanned support vehicles

These vehicles must be agile, compact and highly intelligent.

In order to support this sophisticated intelligence, these

platforms may have to carry and connect a variety of

Ethernet-based devices including computers, sensors,

and targeting systems - all in compact platforms that

must operate in extreme environmental conditions. The

MILTECH918 is an ideal Ethernet switching solution for

these rugged environments. With the best combination

of size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) in the industry,

it saves valuable real estate and payload.

The MILTECH918 is a MIL-STD, fully managed

military grade network switch offering 8 triple-speed

(10/100/1000Mbps) ports. It can be remotely managed

to optimize communications and prioritize critical

information traffic. Advanced network features, never

before found in a package of this size, include switching

protocols, virtual LANS (VLANS), traffic prioritization

(QoS), and bandwidth aggregation are standard.

The MILTECH918’s gigabit speeds and 24VDC power

make it instantly compatible with any network device and

power systems. Its mechanical packaging enhancements,

including ruggedized SCE2 circular connectors, is designed

for MIL-STD-810F airborne and ground environmental

compliance and high reliability. Leveraging best-in-class

switching technology, the MILTECH 918 serves as a

robust commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution for

rugged LAN connectivity.
