Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions is the world's leading supplier of rugged commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) computer, networking, and data storage solutions for defense and aerospace platforms. Our flexible subsystem designs can support legacy data buses, like MIL-STD-1553 and ARINC 429, making it fast, simple, and cost-effective to replace aging aircraft systems with modern high-performance equipment.

High data throughput and innovative thermal management may lead to a revolution in systems design that places the burden of electronics cooling on the enclosure more than on the card.

The RMF establishes security and privacy controls, and contains more than 800 controls to select from, many of which don't apply to embedded systems.

U.S. military and government information security experts try to hold the line against determined hackers seeking to break into critical computing systems from foreign governments and non-state bad actors.

Rugged data storage systems for aerospace and defense applications are moving to new data interfaces for unparalleled speed and capacity, while trusted computing and information security are driving trends.

Cyber Security Robustness of an Embedded Computing System with Trusted Computing Measures Built-in

Security-critical applications, such as cross-domain solutions (CDS), require a secure, trusted platform on which to execute, spanning software, firmware, and hardware. The lowest layer that the application interacts with directly is a trusted operating system (OS).

In the coming years, the military avionics supply and demand chain will feature advanced cockpit upgrades and integration capabilities with civil airspace, as countries move forward on urban air mobility concepts and as the use of drones becomes increasingly common.
