can realize the potential and promise of fully networked defense and aerospace systems with our robust network solutions that interconnect chassis, cards, and processors. A modern connected environment, where operational success depends on efficient data communications between systems and within systems-of-systems, requires high-performance network switches and routers. Curtiss-Wright offers a broad selection of switch and router cards in various configurations – with a range of form-factors, interfaces, protocols, and features – to meet the most demanding requirements. These solutions are designed to the highest quality, reliability, and ruggedness standards, to deliver ease of system configuration with confidence.

Ensure Seamless, Trusted Network Communications

Our highly engineered networking cards provide systems integrators with a fast and powerful way to interconnect chassis, cards, and CPUs through switched Gigabit, 10 Gigabit, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet. Operating at wire-speed, Ethernet switching and routing can be used to architect the infrastructure for unified (Ethernet only) or hybrid (Ethernet control and other switched data-plane fabric) networks for transferring IP-based control and data packets within advanced military systems.

VPX Switches & Routers
Designed for the current generation of VPX systems, these 3U and 6U OpenVPX cards offer wire-speed Gigabit Ethernet and 10G Ethernet connectivity for intra-platform switching and secure WAN routing.
VME & Mezzanine Switches & Routers
Modernize VME systems with high-performance switches/routers and add SWaP-optimized Mezzanine networking capabilities without occupying an extra slot.
PC104 Switches
Ensure seamless network communications in size, weight, and power (SWaP)-sensitive embedded military and civilian computer network systems applications.

How to Choose a Rugged Ethernet Networking Solution

Mission-critical defense and aerospace applications rely on the power and effectiveness of rugged Ethernet networking solutions. But, these solutions come in many varieties with a host of features to choose from. As a result, there are a wide range of factors to consider when choosing the optimal Ethernet networking solution for your program and application requirements.
