The Program Manager – Protection and Integration (PM-PI) is seeking feedback on draft #2 of Military Detail document aka MIL-DTL for a new design for military connections. This draft incorporated comments from draft #1 and is subject to change based on relevant feedback and other developmental milestones of the program. Militarized USB-C aka “USB-CM” is an environmentally hardened connection built to survive military environments. The connector supports power and data requirements and supports USB standards unless specifically stated otherwise. This government owned design is intended to provide a standard interface for military equipment and is not proprietary.
