The Turret integrated rotating slip-ring system (OMFV) is a slip-ring assembly designed for armored vehicle turrets to enable reliable transmission of power and data across rotating interfaces in harsh operational environments.

Key applications

• Integration into 50 mm turrets for the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) and other armored vehicle turret platforms.
• Used where battlefield-grade reliability is required; supports customer-driven Design Verification (DV) and qualification programs to accelerate development and deployment.

Functional overview

• Provides a rotating interface to transmit electrical power and multiple signal types between the vehicle hull and the turret, ensuring continuous operation during rotation.

Characteristics / Technical specifications

• Signal types supported: power, databus, Ethernet, CAN bus, video (including 3G video), RS-432, and fiber optic channels.
• Optional integrations: NBC (nuclear/biological/chemical) air channels and encoders are available.
• Designed to handle high-power transmission together with mixed-signal payloads within the same rotating assembly.
• Environmental and mechanical robustness: engineered to withstand intense vibration and shock encountered during combat and field operations.
• Application focus: tailored for armored vehicle turrets with high-reliability and military qualification considerations; collaborative DV and qualification with customers.
