NWA NetWarrior : STANAG 4695, GOSSRA, breakaway
• BREAKAWAY • COMPACT & LIGHT SHELL • POWER & USB 2.0 • STANAG 4695 | GOSSRA
The NWA (NetWarrior) connector is BERNIER Connect’s solution for NATO-compliant soldier systems. Compatible with STANAG 4695, GOSSRA, and Nett Warrior architecture, it combines power and USB 2.0 data transmission in a lightweight aluminum breakaway connector — designed specifically for dismounted soldier equipment and wearable tactical systems.
NATO-compliant connector for dismounted soldier systems
The NWA meets the specific requirements of modern infantry equipment: lightweight aluminum construction to reduce carry weight, breakaway locking with a calibrated 55N ± 15N disconnect force to protect equipment from accidental cable pulls, and full EMI/RFI protection across 2 MHz to 10 GHz. Its compliance with STANAG 4695, VG96934, VG95351, GOSSRA, and Nett Warrior makes it directly interoperable with NATO-standard soldier system architectures.
