A duo of Northrop Grumman engineers have invented a revolutionary way to forge connections between electricity and water and keep the power surging.
A Water and Electricity Pairing: NiobiCon™ Technology Sparks Self-Insulating Solutions
Underwater electrical applications face the problem of keeping current contained, specifically for recharging unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). For Northrop Grumman engineers, the challenge sparked a surge in connective collaboration. The result? NiobiCon™ technology.
NiobiCon™ Wet-Mate Electrical Connector
Northrop Grumman's NiobiCon™ offers an innovative, safer way of making electrical connections underwater. This novel wet-mate connector technology allows for power transfer and data exchange without seals, oil or moving parts.
