Unparalleled Power-to-Performance Ratio
Low Power and High-Integrity Secure Computing
Today’s rugged embedded applications put incredibly high demands on the components that drive them. The Arm architecture enables processors to meet this challenging set of performance and SWaP requirements. Arm technology is based on reduced instruction set computing (RISC), a simplified instruction set architecture that requires fewer microprocessor cycles per instruction and fewer transistors than processors that are based on complex instruction set computing (CISC). Due to the way that Arm implements the instruction set, Arm-based processors can deliver a combination of capabilities that CISC-based processors, and even other RISC-based processors, cannot match.
The Curtiss-Wright Advantage
Our Arm-based COTS cards are engineered for rugged deployed SWaP-constrained platforms.
- Architecting the Complete COTS System Solution: Curtiss-Wright supports a wide variety of operating systems, complete with module drivers and middleware, designed to enable quick development
- Pin-compatibility: we invest to enable technology insertion from generation to generation to offer customers the latest technology with minimal risk
- Modified COTS: Curtiss-Wright modifies our COTS products to meet the needs of a particular program, saving customers time and money while reducing program risk
- Safety and Security: we have a broad selection of COTS cards and systems designed to DO-254 and DO-178 standards and offering security features such as Arm Trustzone® and NXP Secure Boot and Trust Architecture

Is Arm the Future for Airborne Platforms
Arm Solutions from Curtiss-Wright
Arm processors are available from multiple manufacturers, including AMD, NXP, NVIDIA, and Texas Instruments. Curtiss-Wright works closely with technology partners to select specific products employing Arm cores and offering long life availability, such as the processors in NXP’s Layerscape series that typically enjoy a lifecycle of over 15 years from product launch.
