Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions has demonstrated its complete airborne data acquisition system solution at the International Telemetering Conference this week in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The company’s Aerospace Instrumentation group presented its system-level flight test instrumentation (FTI), which consists of hardware such as Axon data acquisition units, switches, data recorders, rugged cameras and multi-mode transceivers, to hundreds of delegates at this year’s show.
“We are very proud to showcase our next generation FTI system architecture, combining our industry leading networked from ground to air capabilities with an unmatched range of proven, leading FTI technologies, all working together in one integrated system,” said Lynn Bamford, senior vice president and general manager of Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions. “This fully integrated system approach enables flight test customers to, for the first time, acquire a complete, future proof system solution from a single supplier.”
