A defense contractor contacted Curtiss-Wright looking to find a proactive approach to manage obsolete components, qualify alternative components, and test infrastructure.

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.

When a VME computing module in its product line went obsolete, a semiconductor machinery manufacturer turned to Curtiss-Wright for a high-performance VME replacement fit for the rigors of a grueling 24/7 production schedule. Read more about it here.

A customer building the next generation synthetic aperture radar (SAR) faced challenges in delivering an enormous amount of processing power in a compact, lightweight solution. Read about the solution Curtiss-Wright developed here.

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.

A customer approached Curtiss-Wright requiring a radar processing tech refresh for their aging fleet of fast jets. Learn about the solution we developed here.

A customer wanted to update their ship-to-ship communications system. Read about the solution Curtiss-Wright developed that saves them money, support hours, and allows them to use new technology with existing systems without added expense and time.

A customer approached Curtiss-Wright with a requirement of upgrading to modern COTS hardware while keeping legacy proprietary infrastructure. Read about the SWaP solution Curtiss-Wright developed here.

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