Mighty Mouse 807: The NATO 4695 Standard
Peripheral Device Interoperability Due to the broad range of devices employed in ground- force missions, an open system architecture is vital. All STAR-PAN hubs, cables, and new Mission Manager utilize this US and NATO standard quick-disconnect connector interface as well as its power and data pin assignments. In fact, the 807 Mighty Mouse QDC has become an enabling technology which directly contributes to the easy integration of peripheral devices across the broad range of systems. STAR-PAN and the 807 Mighty Mouse QDC have changed the landscape regarding interoperability and interconnect standardization. As more branches of the military—both US and NATO—adopt these two key technologies, the flexibility and versatility of C4ISR soldier systems is significantly improved, allowing these devices and the soldiers who use them to more consistently contribute to mission success.
The worldwide (NATO) quick-disconnect (QDC) standard for tactical soldier system battery and C4ISR device interconnection The STAR-PAN ™ System grew out of capabilities gained by designing Mighty Mouse 807 into a broad range of soldier electronic devices and power supplies. Today, the Mighty Mouse 807 QDC dismounted soldier interconnect has both US and NATO STANAG 4695 compatibility—with broader battlefield application than all other tactical soldier connectors combined. NATO 4695 NATO STANAG 4695 currently defines the standard dismounted soldier power connector interface (extension of the standard to encompass data connectivity is pending). Interoperability with this standard allows soldiers from different nations to share battery supplies and battlefield data, either directly or via available adapters. NATO STANAG 4695 ensures soldiers experiencing low battery power have greater likelihood of obtaining energy in the field from both national and NATO coalition primary or secondary power sources, reducing the logistical burden on the soldier while enabling prolonged mission duration and mission success.
