Today, increasing demand for functionality in modern aircraft is driving a critical need for virtualized avionics systems that combine separate capabilities into a single ruggedized and compact computer.

Deploy Mil-grade, low-SWaP computing solutions at the edge of the battlefield with NVIDIA’s industrial Jetson technology in Curtiss-Wright hyper-rugged, scalable mission computers.

Some environmental constraints for deployed military computing systems are operational temperature, humidity, sand, dust, vibration, shock/basic, leakage (immersion), steam and water jet cleaning, rapid decompression, contamination by fluids (e.g. oil, fuel, cleaning), nuclear hardness, and input voltage.

Certification of new version of Cisco’s traffic filtering firewall and VPN gateway software for Pacstar 451/453/455 further extends PacStar leadership in Tactical Networking and Classified Wireless.

Parvus DuraCOR AGX-Xavier delivers high-performance NVIDIA GPU-accelerated processing and deep learning engines in ultra-rugged SFF mission computers designed for extreme aerospace and defense applications.

EASA Technical Standard Order awarded to new Flight Data Recorder that records and stores more than 3,500 hours of data

Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions is the world's leading supplier of rugged commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) computer, networking, and data storage solutions for defense and aerospace platforms. Our flexible subsystem designs can support legacy data buses, like MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429, making it fast, simple, and cost-effective to replace aging aircraft systems with modern high-performance equipment.

As the U.S. Navy increases its investment in its fleet of unmanned undersea vehicles (UUV), suppliers of rugged commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) subsystems, providing solutions for mission computers, network switches, and routers, and data storage are meeting the needs of these unique platforms.
