Curtiss-Wright Demos Total Flight Test Instrumentation Solution at ITC 2019
The company’s Aerospace Instrumentation group presented its system-level flight test instrumentation (FTI) to hundreds of delegates at this year’s show.
Today’s Spacecraft and Satellite Requirements Giving COTS a Fresh Look
The fast growth of small satellites and their lower life cycle and launch costs has created a sizable market for low-cost electronic components that have radiation-resistant characteristics.
Pushing Airborne ISR Data Recorders to New Performance Heights
Paul Davis looks at how it’s now possible to design digital data recorders that can absorb upwards of 6 GB per second of streaming data, 400 percent more bandwidth then the fastest SFPDP recorder could handle.
The Curtiss-Wright Fortress can function as a traditional FDR, cockpit voice recorder, datalink recorder or airborne image recorder, or a combination of the four. It also allows operators to use the data captured for predictive maintenance.
Lowering the Cost of Spacecraft Avionics with Radiation-Tolerant COTS Electronics
The risk of failure for avionics equipment on-board spacecraft due to radiation exposure is a critical issue for launchers, re-entry vehicles, space habitats and satellites
Curtiss-Wright Lowers Space Flight Cost, Speeds Up Development Time and Reduces Risk
Introducing the Smart Backplane subsystem (KAM/CSB/12U), a rugged multi-slot chassis designed specifically for data acquisition, data processing, and recording in radiation-intensive space environments.
