System Integration

 

Reduce Your Risk and Time to Market

With decades of experience designing VITA standards-based, rugged C5ISR systems, our team of system architects work with customers to define a system solution that best meets the program requirements. Whether the system is destined for an airborne, ground, or naval platform, Curtiss-Wright has the MOSA system design expertise you’ll need, earned from supporting hundreds of programs and deployed rugged systems around the world. Our system integration services leverage innovative COTS modules, including a variety of plug-in cards (PICs) developed in alignment with The Open Group Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) Technical Standard and C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS). Our system integration services are available in both U.S.- and Europe-based facilities, making it easy for customers to meet regional, ITAR, and USEO requirements.

Curtiss-Wright Actively Develops New Technologies

As active participants in industry trade associations and DoD RDT&E organizations that are involved in developing advanced products, we provide a full range of advanced, highly engineered solutions from MOSA to application-specific optimized solutions. On an ongoing basis, we investigate next-generation materials and components to provide leading-edge technologies to the marketplace that will speed customers' time-to-market and reduce their program risk.
