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).

TCG HUNTR software installed on a Parvus DuraCOR 8043 mission computer, displayed on a GVDU mission display, provides operators with a rugged, small form factor solution that can be used on the battlefield with minimal training and almost no expertise.

Sounding rockets can carry experiments to altitudes that are often unsuitable for balloons and satellites and are much more cost-efficient since they do not require expensive boosters or extended telemetry and tracking coverage.

A global helicopter manufacturer, faced with a need to upgrade an existing EW suite to increase functionality, sought high-performance technology with a reputable pedigree that they could offer to their growing customer base.

This case study describes how a manufacturer of an electric VTOL aircraft selected and installed a suitable flight test instrumentation (FTI) system quickly to help meet a rigorous schedule.

A leading mission systems integrator sought a data recording and storage device that could capture up to 1 TB of data in a removable drive, easily integrated into their existing mission system, adding minimal weight.

An aircraft fleet was undergoing an upgrade of the on-board AEW&C network, they contacted Curtiss-Wright to find a cost-effective yet rugged, quick turnaround solution for multiple processing and communications subsystems.

A customer required a high-speed camera that could withstand harsh conditions to gather accurate data confirming position and velocity to validate models in an FTI study. 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.

Curtiss-Wright was recently challenged to provide a direct CameraLink interface to a Kintex-7 FPGA without the need for ChannelLink transceivers, thereby allowing an existing “generic” digital FPGA solution to be used. Read about the solution we developed.

A commercial flight operator realized a successful predictive maintenance program capturing data to produce accurate maintenance forecasts and predicting potential service disruptions. Read about the solution Curtiss-Wright developed here.

A flight test organization was tasked with instrumenting a new regional airliner to gather flight test data. Read about the solution Curtiss-Wright provided here.
