High-Precision Conductors for Mission-Critical Defense Systems
In the field of wire-guided munitions and aerospace telemetry, the conductor is the lifeline of the system. Missile guidance wires must endure supersonic deployment speeds, extreme G-forces, and high-tension loads while maintaining flawless signal integrity.

FISSOT leverages advanced Cold Cladding Technology to produce ultra-fine Copper Clad Steel (CCS) wires that offer the perfect balance of massive tensile strength and superior conductivity, ensuring reliability where failure is not an option.

CCS (Copper Clad Steel): “The gold standard for wire-guided missiles (TOW, HJ-8). Our CCS wire provides the critical tensile strength required for high-velocity spool deployment without breakage, utilizing the skin effect for high-frequency command transmission.”

NCC (Nickel Clad Copper): “Ideal for aerospace engine sensors and high-temperature telemetry. The nickel cladding ensures zero oxidation at elevated altitudes and temperatures, maintaining stable contact resistance in extreme environments.”

Why Choose FISSOT?

Why is Copper Clad Steel (CCS) preferred over pure copper for missile guidance?

Missile guidance wires must withstand massive G-forces and subsonic deployment speeds (spool-out). Pure copper is too soft and will snap under such tension. CCS combines the massive tensile strength of a steel core (up to 1200MPa+) with the electrical conductivity of a copper cladding, ensuring the control link remains intact from launch to impact.

How does FISSOT ensure signal integrity over several kilometers of wire?

We utilize the Skin Effect phenomenon. Since guidance commands are high-frequency pulses, the current travels primarily through the outer copper layer. By precisely controlling the copper thickness and concentricity, we ensure minimal signal attenuation and maximum reliability even in ultra-fine gauges like AWG 40-45.

Can FISSOT provide ultra-fine wires for compact missile spools?

Yes. We specialize in ultra-fine bimetallic wire drawing. Our production line can achieve consistent diameters for AWG 35 through AWG 46, allowing more wire to be packed into the limited volume of a missile’s internal spool without increasing weight or drag.

What environmental standards do your aerospace wires meet?

Our wires, particularly our Nickel Clad Copper (NCC), are engineered for extreme altitudes and temperatures. They offer superior resistance to oxidation, salt spray, and aerospace fuels, meeting the rigorous durability requirements of defense-grade telemetry and sensor systems.

Does FISSOT offer customization for specific defense projects?

Absolutely. We provide tailored solutions including specific IACS conductivity levels (21% to 40%), custom tensile strengths, and specialized cladding materials (like Nickel over CCS) to solve unique engineering challenges in the defense and aerospace sectors.
