Upgrading Data Storage Capacity on Legacy Aircraft with Open Standards
Published in Contact Fighters Magazine.
The Data Storage Dilemma
One of the biggest problems facing system integrators today is the never-ending increase in data. From intelligence surveillance reconnaissance sensors, video, and other proliferating sources, data just keeps growing. How can you store it and how do you keep it safe? Frequently, older data storage systems on legacy aircraft just aren't up to the job. When defense and aerospace integrators need to upgrade their platforms, data storage capabilities, or ensure their data is securely encrypted and safe from adversaries, they turn to Curtiss-Wright.
