Size, Weight, Power and Cost

Groundbreaking miniaturization of electronics subsystems enables UGV (unmanned ground vehicle) and light, mobile combat vehicles, as well as manned ground vehicle platforms to expand their mission capabilities. COTS-based solutions help to drive down costs associated with adding capabilities required for security, networking, and computing upgrades. Our expertise and experience help system integrators securely and affordably deploy digital network architectures for situational awareness and network-centric operations.

eVTOL vehicles are extremely SWaP-sensitive. The weight of mechanical and electronic parts is significant because the lighter the platform is, the more payload it can carry. Lighter vehicles can therefore fly farther, longer, and faster. With a diverse product portfolio of solutions, Curtiss-Wright delivers COTS solutions from instrumentation to networking to keep programs on budget, on schedule, and with a very low operational Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).
