ITT Cannon Connectors Receive U.S. Army Qualification on Nett Warrior Program

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 14, 2025-- January 14, 2025-- ITT Inc. (NYSE: ITT) today announced its Cannon connectors have been qualified for deployment on the Nett Warrior soldier-worn mission command system by the U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office for Ground Soldier Systems.

The portfolio of qualified ITT Cannon MKJ Warrior Series connectors provide mission-critical connectivity throughout the Nett Warrior ecosystem, including linking power and data hubs, combat radio systems, wearable batteries, smartphones and tablets.

Additionally, the company’s proprietary Nemesis and HDx connectors, featured on tactical communications platforms including radios, provide additional growth opportunities. In total, U.S. spending for handheld, manpack and small form fit radios is expected to be ~$700 million in 2025.
