Reduce Costs, Development Time, & Risk
Engineered for Harsh Environments
Curtiss-Wright helps reduce costs, development time, and risk by using a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) approach that utilizes an extensive library of proven IP and decades of rugged system design experience. Curtiss-Wright’s designers optimize systems for low cost of ownership based on a customer’s application and the procurement life of the platform. The Curtiss-Wright Space COTS versatility has been fully proven – no other COTS system has been qualified and used successfully in such a wide variety of space missions for both Development Flight Instrumentation (DFI) and Operational Flight Instrumentation (OFI) requirements.

Solutions for Space Applications
Space COTS Data Acquisition
Combining COTS with a space-qualified approach can result in significant savings that can meet the needs of the mission.
Radiation-Tolerant
Space CTOS with a radiation-hardened backplane and specialized protection circuitry allows the use of COTS modules in a radiation-intensive environment without the typically high costs of fully radiation-hardened systems.
Space Launchers Brochure
Curtiss-Wright provides COTS solutions for launcher development and flight instrumentation systems. Our equipment has flown on or been selected to fly on several launcher platforms, including those from SpaceX, ULA, ESA, and Rocketlab.
