USFF Mission Processors and Network Switches for ISR UAV Targeting System
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) of on-board line replaceable units...
Use Case: Advanced Tactical Data Link Gateway for the Modern Warfighter
Traditional TDL gateway designs are difficult and time consuming to configure and operate and are too large for the modern warfighter to use at the tactical edge of the battlefield. Warfighters need a TDL gateway that requires minimal training, is operational within seconds, is portable...
Next Generation Data Acquisition System for a Sounding Rocket
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. This case study outlines how an operator used an...
Rugged, Encrypted Data Storage for an ISR Pod
When a leading aerospace and defense manufacturer required a data storage solution that could withstand the challenging pod environment, they contacted CurtissWright. Because the customer’s ISR pod that collects and stores sensitive data is attached under the aircraft, the customer...
Saab’s Target Towing Video System Upgrade
Saab found Curtiss-Wright online after contacting video system suppliers and being told they needed an NDA in place to discuss system solutions. The project involved upgrading their existing video system that helped provide visual awareness during the target towing process.
Solving Display Computer Thermal Challenges in a Jet Trainer Aircraft
A leading aerospace company contacted Curtiss-Wright for a graphics display computer for a space constrained jet trainer aircraft. Typical of most programs, an economical solution was required in terms of both the recurring and non-recurring (NRE) costs; trading off NRE for a more...
