Size, Weight, Power and Cost

To accelerate program development with no NRE investment and enable rapid integration, a UAV developer required a ready-to-deploy network attached storage system with reliable, redundant Ethernet network interfaces and expandable storage capacity with security.

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).

A large aerospace systems integrator that manufactures wide-area persistent surveillance systems was challenged with finding a network-attached storage solution to meet their demanding requirements. Learn about the HSR40 NAS solution.

Space and weight are key factors in designing, mounting, and installing data acquisition systems on UAV and missile development programs. Learn more about an integrated and expandable solution.

A large integrator faced the challenge of protecting Top Secret DAR on a UAV and approached Curtiss-Wright for a solution.

A developer of a small launcher sought a data acquisition solution that could endure harsh conditions, capture and transmit data during flight while also keeping costs to a minimum.

While developing a new intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) system, a large aerospace developer approached Curtiss-Wright for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment that had to fit into a space-constrained, propeller-driven aircraft.

A tandem-seat, single-turboprop, light attack aircraft operator wanted a modern, easy-to-install, flight recorder with an encryption facility for their fleet.

The Multi-Purpose Flight Recorder from Curtiss-Wright offers combined voice and flight data recording (FDR) and a minimum of 25 hours FDR and 4-channel, 2-hour CVR capability.

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.

Tasked with building a new Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), a shipbuilder faced challenging requirements.

Tasked with building a new Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), a shipbuilder faced challenging requirements. The developer planned to connect all the computer systems via a one gigabit Ethernet (1 GbE) network.

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.

In search of a small form factor network attached storage (NAS) solution for a new UUV, an engineer at a defense contractor reached out to Curtiss-Wright. The UUV required a high storage capacity solution to store critical mission data on long-range missions.

Curtiss-Wright develops network-attached storage (NAS) devices for an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV).

The military and aerospace market maintains an insatiable appetite for smaller, lighter, and cheaper. Recent technological breakthroughs in SWaP-C reduction have yielded the introduction of USFF mission computer and networking systems.
