They are optionally available as blind mate devices for use in extremely confined spaces, as for example in FLIR radar systems installed in Eurofighter designs, leading NATO helicopters, guidance systems for anti-mine weapons and even flown to Mars aboard NASA programmes.
Flexibility is provided via a number of customer specified options; space restriction and difficult access issues are overcome by guide posts which facilitate blind mating and also ensure that no misalignment is possible.
