Comm Innovations was incorporated in November 1994 with a primary objective of providing custom communication solutions to the aviation market. Our customer base ranges from military and law enforcement to border patrol, firefighting & medical communities. Our most popular products are our switch & cable assemblies which were introduced in 1995. The switch and cables are used to interface the aircrewman’s headset with the aircraft’s intercom and radios. We also offer an expansive product list that includes plugs, connectors, adapter cables, extension cables, impedance and interfaces cables, portable radios adapters and much more.

Programs

C-130J

The Lockheed Martin C-130J "Super" Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft. The C-130J is a comprehensive update of the venerable Lockheed C-130 Hercules, with new engines, flight deck, and other systems. When the Royal Air Force (RAF) purchased the C-130J they wanted a single cable that was compatible with three different headsets, all using different connectors & build standards. In 1997, Lockheed Martin contracted Comm Innovations to develop a special cable assembly to meet these requirements which was met with great success.

C-27J

Due to the success of the C-130J project, other outfits began contracting Comm Innovations for similar programs. The C -27J Spartan is a medium-sized military transport aircraft. This aircraft has been used in countries such as the USA, Italy, Greece, Lithuania, Mexico and more. In January of 2012 the Department of Defense announced its plan to retire all 38 of its C-27J’s. 7 of these aircraft were acquired by SOCOM and 14 by the US Coast Guard. Both entities contracted Comm Innovations to provide new cables to support these aircraft.

AW159

Comm Innovations is currently supplying switch & cable assemblies for the U.K. airborne ASW role in its AgustaWestland Merlin helicopter fleet. This fleet has currently undergone a major upgrade with the AW159 Lynx Wildcat (an improved version of the Super Lynx) military helicopter serving in the battlefield utility, search and rescue and anti-surface warfare roles

CH-53K

The Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion is a large, heavy-lift cargo helicopter currently being developed by Sikorsky Aircraft for the United States Marine Corps (USMC).  The CH-53K is a general redesign of the CH-53E. Sikorskys specification for the cable used in the CH-53K are extremely rigorous. The heavy duty cable uses a proprietary dual shielding to ensure very low susceptibility to EMI (electromagnet interference) and very high TEMPEST capability to shield the cable against spying. Comm Innovations has been selected to provide the cables used in this program
