Mobix Labs Secures Design Wins and Begins Shipping Advanced Filtered Mil-Spec Circular Connectors for Military Drone Applications

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mobix Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOBX), a fabless semiconductor and connectivity solutions provider, today announced that it has secured design wins and is currently shipping its advanced Filtered Mil-Spec Circular Connectors with Pi Filtering into next-generation military drone platforms.

These specialized connectors are engineered to eliminate high-frequency noise from entering or exiting sensitive electronic systems, ensuring uninterrupted and secure communications even in harsh electronic warfare environments. By integrating Pi filtering technology directly into ruggedized circular connectors, Mobix Labs delivers critical electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection required in the modern battlespace.

Military drone platforms represent a rapidly expanding and indispensable asset for today’s armed forces. These unmanned aerial systems play a crucial role in GPS-based navigation, flight control, targeting, and payload delivery, where accuracy and reliability are paramount. Mobix Labs’ filtered connectors are deployed in communications and GPS distribution systems within military drones and tactical aircraft, where they help ensure secure communications, precision guidance, and reliable data transfer under contested conditions.

“Securing design wins and already shipping products into military drone applications underscores the value and performance of our EMI filtering technology,” said Bob Ydens, Vice President and General Manager of Mobix Labs Interconnect Products. “Military drones are at the forefront of today’s defense strategies, providing both tactical and strategic advantages. By delivering advanced Mil-Spec compliant connector solutions, our products support defense customers in maintaining secure communications and mission-critical precision, even in the most challenging environments.”

As military systems continue to evolve, Mobix Labs highlights its commitment to supporting the defense industry with trusted, high-performance solutions that ensure operational readiness and reliability.
