TDL Interoperability and Unified Naval Communications
As navies move towards greater interoperability, challenges arise in ensuring support for an increasing number of TDL standards in use. And, with TDL standards constantly evolving, system integration can increase costs, program risk, and time to deployment.
7 Ways Navies Can Optimize Tactical Data Link System Integration
Integrate fully interoperable TDL systems efficiently and cost-effectively on manned and unmanned naval platforms with TDL solutions built on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems. Curtiss-Wright’s standards-based COTS and Non-Developmental Item (NDI) TDL products reduce program...
How Modularity Can Shorten System Development and Decrease Costs
Learn how modified COTS application engineering services can help integrators meet their cost, schedule, quality, and technical requirements, while reducing risk and eliminating traditional NRE fees.
Beware of Multi-Vendor Video System Design
You may think you are keeping costs down by sourcing individual system components for an end-to-end video system from different vendors, but the costs associated with system integration and installation can often deteriorate any initial savings realized and also increase program risk.
Infographic: The Evolution of Ground Vehicle Video Systems
Through the years, the level of sophistication and complexity of video management systems on board ground vehicle platforms has evolved to provide an enhanced level of tactical situational awareness to operators and commanders.
CESMO: A Common Denominator for Tactical Data Link Systems
Minimizing the time between transmission, detection, position fix, targeting, and sharing data among friendly forces is essential on todays battlefield. Cooperative Electronic Support Measure Operations (CESMO) data gives NATO coalition forces this visibility.
Build or Buy: The Strains of Designing a Flight Data Recorder
Designing a Flight Data Recorders (FDR) that complies to international standards and crash survivability is very challenging and is usually far more expensive than buying one from an established FDR manufacturer.
Post-Test Flight Data Analysis Made Easy
The post-test analysis phase uses data analysis and visualization tools to retrieve, process, and make sense of the flight test data which includes filtering, bias correction, and resolution along flight trajectory to reach a conclusion on the findings.
Is the CSfC Program Growing?
The number of approved CSfC solutions has increased by 255% between 2019 and 2020. The number of approved data-at-rest (DAR) solutions has increased by 43% between 2019 and 2020.
Types of Flight Recorders and How to Choose the Right One
There are three main types of flight recorders used today - Non-crash protected, ED-155 crash protected, and ED-112A crash protected flight recorder.
