kSARIA Awarded $2M Lockheed Martin Contract

Industry-leading kSARIA will enhance its fully automated technology, once again raising the quality bar in fiber optic cable manufacturing

WILMINGTON, Massachusetts, (January 17, 2006) – To advance the state-of-the-art in military-grade fiber optic cables, Lockheed Martin has awarded a contract valued at up to $2 million with options to kSARIA Corporation, the world’s only fully automated fiber optic cable manufacturer. The contract, funded by the Penn State Electro-Optics Center, is sponsored by the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command, to rapidly expand use of fiber optic technology in mission-critical aerospace, shipboard and weapon systems applications. The work builds upon previous efforts sponsored by the U.S. Office of Naval Research ManTech program.

High Performance Epoxy Curing System for Fiber Optic Terminations

A recent Navy ManTech funded development program entitled Fiber Optic Interconnect Technology (FOIT) is aimed at advancing manufacturing technology associated with high reliability/ performance fiber optic assemblies. This technology consists of the development of an automated work cell made up of 5 discrete stations which perform the major processes with fiber cable manufacture; Cable Preparation, Terminus Assembly, Epoxy Cure, End Face Polish, and Test/ Inspection.
