A tandem-seat, single-turboprop, light attack aircraft operator wanted a modern, easy-to-install, flight recorder with an encryption facility for their fleet.

An intermediate twin-turbine helicopter developed for a wide range of applications required a flight recorder to capture all the data from the avionics suite and meet the relevant EASA and EUROCAE regulations.

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.

Multiple eVTOL aircraft developers from America and Europe have come to Curtiss-Wright seeking rugged COTS hardware to be used for prototyping as they develop their new aircraft platforms for production.

A leading prime contractor of airborne imaging systems came to Curtiss-Wright with a 3U OpenVPX system architecture design problem they were doubtful could be solved, given the project’s constraints.

A new aircraft development program wanted to deploy the most modern avionics systems available to ensure the aircraft could compete against the newest on the market.

Aerospace integrators are often called upon to upgrade aging airframes with new electronic payloads to extend their lifespan and mission capabilities.

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).

TCG HUNTR software installed on a Parvus DuraCOR 8043 mission computer, displayed on a GVDU mission display, provides operators with a rugged, small form factor solution that can be used on the battlefield with minimal training and almost no expertise.

A customer sought a secure data storage solution that could maintain reliability under extreme temperatures and vibration, and be available off the shelf.

This case study examines the problem of needing a graphics display computer for a space-constrained jet trainer aircraft with limited onboard space and no room to support a fan-cooled system.
