In 2019, Rheinmetall Defence Australia was awarded a contract to provide a replacement of the Australian Army’s Light Armoured Vehicle in support of Phase 2 of the Land 400 project.

Discover how one customer harnessed the power of a purpose-built motion control system to successfully deliver a unique solution to navies around the world.

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.

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.

Curtiss-Wright was recently challenged to provide a direct CameraLink interface to a Kintex-7 FPGA without the need for ChannelLink transceivers, thereby allowing an existing “generic” digital FPGA solution to be used. Read about the solution we developed.

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.

A customer approached Curtiss-Wright to develop a Radar system, with high-performance FPGA processing and integration of other system function all wrapped up in a rugged system. Read about the solution we developed here.

To remain competitive, a Curtiss-Wright customer needed to upgrade an existing radar system that was deployed across multiple airborne platforms. A critical part of the upgrade was doubling the system’s signal processing throughput.

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.
