Tasked with building a new Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), a shipbuilder faced challenging requirements. The developer planned to connect all the computer systems via a one gigabit Ethernet (1 GbE) network.

In search of a small form factor network attached storage (NAS) solution for a new UUV, an engineer at a defense contractor reached out to Curtiss-Wright. The UUV required a high storage capacity solution to store critical mission data on long-range missions.

As unmanned vehicles become more powerful and complex, their electronics payloads must adapt to match new mission objectives. This often forces aerospace and defense system integrators to push for reductions in size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C).

When 30-year-old airborne surveillance and control equipment mounted on the underside of an aging helicopter required replacement, the manufacturer needed a partner they could rely on to provide mission-critical processing technology in harsh environments.

When a large system integrator needed a SWaP optimized, rugged, network-attached storage system with NSA-approved encryption, a UAV contacted Curtiss-Wright for a trusted, proven solution.

A customer wished to move to the latest and greatest technology without having to change pinouts or cables on the aircraft.

A system integrator required small form factor (SFF) mission processors, network switches, and network-attached storage (NAS) with government-approved encryption for UUV operations. Read about the solution we developed here.

A European system developer needed to upgrade their sonar system. Read about the ITAR-free, CE, RoHS, and REACH compliant rugged solution Curtiss-Wright developed.

Curtiss-Wright develops network-attached storage (NAS) devices for an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV).

This case study describes a solution to detect and locate SIGINT signals of interest quickly and meet SWaP-constraints of the airborne platform.

Through expertise in designing SWaP-optimized systems, Curtiss-Wright designed the flight control computer with alternate mounting technique, which resulted in significant improvements in thermal performance, system reliability, and system performance.
