ODU has a long pedigree in soldier communications, with their Advanced Military Connector (AMC) range being specifically developed for this market.  

This range has now been significantly extended to offer connectors for all varieties of military equipment.

ODU-AMC T-Series Connector - beyond 38999
Three locking variants of plug [push-pull, break-away or screw-lock] can fit the same receptacle, giving space-envelope savings over comparable density MIL-38999M, so now, in-vehicle OEM’s can fit the same bulkhead fitting across all equipment, leaving the locking preference to the plug-in equipment.
