Fortress combines Cockpit Voice Recorder, Flight Data Recorder, DataLink Recorder, and Airborne Image Recorder in a single unit, bringing COTS-based Usage Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance solutions to the Avionics Market.

Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions will display its latest products for aerospace and defense airborne platforms in its booth at the 2020 Singapore Airshow (USA Pavilion: Stand #V67).

The COTS Confidential Roundtable gathers experts from the defense electronics industry – from major prime contractors to defense component suppliers.

With faster processors, more functions, and higher bandwidth than ever before, today’s avionics are pushing the cooling technology envelope to the breaking point – and beyond.

The use of fiber optics is gaining momentum in modern avionics because it helps solve the size, weight and power (SWaP) challenges in next generation system designs.

Curtiss-Wright demonstrated an open standards architecture (OSA)-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and electronic warfare (EW) system.

Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components are being embraced so the technology can be serviced at the base instead of waiting for specialized parts or sending the system back state-side.

The FCC keeps changing things, so consider utilizing tri-band transmitters to help facilitate the move to C-band technology.
