New VPX6-SBM Storage Blade Module more than doubles the data rate and amount of NVMe data storage available from a MOSA-based module for deployed C5ISR Applications.

Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division, a trusted, proven supplier of rugged modular open systems approach (MOSA) solutions, announced its participation on the Raytheon Technologies (NYSE: RTX) team to support the development of the U.S. Army’s Tactical.

Curtiss-Wright’s technology leadership in Modular Open-Systems Approach-based rugged COTS modules tapped for U.S. Navy MH-60R/S Seahawk helicopter.

The advent of unmanned systems reflects a huge aspect of warfare – that of protecting the warfighter – through the development of platforms that can be operated by humans from a distance, keeping them out of harm’s way.

VPX6-1961 SBC features the new 8-Core 11th Gen Intel Xeon W (“formerly Tiger Lake-H”) to deliver significant advances in integrated graphics and accelerated AI/ML processing.

From a design and engineering perspective, there are many moving parts to consider and combine in order to arrive at a position, navigation, and timing (PNT) truth. In addition, solutions must be easy to integrate into the available space on existing platforms, whether they are unmanned aerial systems (UASs) or other aircraft, ground-based operations, or systems at sea.

As the U.S. Navy increases its investment in its fleet of unmanned undersea vehicles (UUV), suppliers of rugged commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) subsystems, providing solutions for mission computers, network switches, and routers, and data storage are meeting the needs of these unique platforms.

Open architecture modules will support mission processing upgrades under the F-22 Tactical Mandates (TACMAN) program.

The U.S. Army’s recent request for proposal (RFP) from industry for its new Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV), the planned replacement for the venerable Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, represents a true milestone for the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) industry.

The new Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) opens the doors to more innovative possibilities, as Paul Garnett explains.

Components used in defence applications need to be not only reliable but rugged and, increasingly, interoperable with different ground and air vehicle systems. We talk to David Jedynak, chief technology officer at Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions, about how the company helps its clients.
