In general, guided missiles are manufactured in a form with a large slender ratio, which is a ratio of length to cross-sectional area, and are assembled by placing a plurality of divided missile bodies in a line on a missile assembly table and then moving the divided plurality of bodies in a straight line.

That is, the conventional missile assembly unit supports a plurality of divided missile bodies and is provided with a plurality of missile supports capable of linearly reciprocating and moving up and down on the assembly platform, placing each missile body on the missile support and aligning it. It is assembled by moving the divided guided missile body in a straight line.

When assembling a conventional missile body, when assembling a divided missile body, a cable connection process in which electronic components located in each missile body must be connected with a cable is included.

Equipment with various types of cables, such as guided missiles, is connected through an adapter for cable connection.

In other words, different connectors are applied to equipment containing multiple cables, such as guided missiles, and human errors are minimized by designing so that they are not physically connected to other connectors except for the relevant connector when manufacturing equipment.

However, when connecting equipment containing multiple cables, such as guided missiles, by applying different connectors, production begins after receiving an order, which causes a setback in the equipment development schedule as a long-term delivery item.

In addition, when connecting equipment containing multiple cables, such as guided missiles, by applying different connectors, it is necessary to manufacture a separate adapter box for checking the missile cables, and even when changing a simple cable connector, the cost of modifying/replacing the adapter box is incurred. There was a problem.
