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.

A major aircraft manufacturer needed to plan and operate a flight test campaign for a new regional airliner. Read about the solution Curtiss-Wright 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.

In order to guarantee a high level of measurement reliability, the Air Force Institute of Technology (ITWL) sought to have sensor redundancy, with multiple strain gauges at each load measurement location. Learn about the solution.

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.

This case study describes a crash-protected recorder designed by Curtiss-Wright to interface to a Data Management Unit (DMU) for a mid-range commercial airliner that had schedule challenges and changing requirements.
