BERNIER Connect designs and manufactures rugged connectors for land defense and aerospace equipment. From October 12 to 14, 2026, we are exhibiting at AUSA 2026 in Washington, D.C. You will find us on our own booth, Hall DE, booth 7641. Hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army, AUSA is the largest land power exposition in North America. This year, it brings together more than 750 exhibits across five halls of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
AUSA 2026: the Army as the foundation of the joint force
This year's theme is "America's Army: The Foundation of the Joint Force." It reflects the Army's commitment to modernization. Indeed, the service aims to put new capabilities in soldiers' hands faster. This modernization relies on increasingly connected equipment: radios, vehicles, unmanned systems and C4ISR equipment. As a result, every electrical connection becomes a link in mission reliability.
Why visit BERNIER Connect at AUSA | booth 7641
In the field, equipment faces shock, vibration, mud, dust, extreme temperatures and electromagnetic interference. Our circular connectors are engineered to keep signal, power and data connections intact under these conditions. At our booth, our team presents the series best suited to the Army's current priorities.
Connectors for the soldier: NWA series
The NWA series is our lightest connector, made of aluminum. It is designed for soldier-worn equipment, including Nett Warrior-type systems. In addition, its break-away disconnect protects cabling in case of shock or snagging. It is IP68 sealed and features quantified EMI/RFI shielding.
High-speed data: CMA SD and CMA USBC series
The CMA SD series and CMA USBC series handle high-speed data on vehicles, unmanned systems and C4ISR equipment. For example, the CMA SD connector supports up to 10Gb Ethernet. The CMA USBC connector, for its part, enables fast, sealed USB-C download of mission data in the field.
Compact integration: MMC and MMC SD series
The MMC series and MMC SD series meet the space constraints of onboard modules. They combine power and signal in a compact, quick-release format. Moreover, the MMC SD connector supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 for miniature high-speed links.All these series are IP68 sealed, mated and unmated. Depending on the series, they operate from -67°F to +257°F (-55°C to +125°C). They also withstand up to 10,000 mating cycles.
A human-scale connector manufacturer
Exhibiting on our own booth at AUSA lets us meet U.S. engineers, integrators and procurement teams directly. Our team is human-scale: you talk directly with the people who design and follow your projects. Therefore, we can adapt geometry, contact configuration and cabling to each program. Our CMA connector family, for instance, is the original CMA connector series, designed and manufactured by BERNIER Connect.
