Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions

Mission computers are at the heart of every military platform. That’s why delivering field-proven, highly engineered technology that warfighters can trust is at the heart of what we do.

Curtiss-Wright mission computers are designed and manufactured leveraging our decades of experience innovating smaller, stronger, smarter and faster defense solutions. Our system specialists are well equipped to address your system integration and program management requirements, helping you to maximize your Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) content or leverage an existing custom solution. Build your own application using one of our many trusted and proven systems, or use our expertise to create specific system solutions with tailored, optimized functionality for a specific platform or program.

Our mission computing product families include rugged small form factor (SFF) COTS mission computer subsystems (Parvus DuraCOR) with modular, expandable designs, powerful graphics and data processing capabilities together with ultra-reliable mechanical robustness. Other families include mezzanine, 3U and 6U-based Multi-Platform Mission Computer (MPMC) products, a selection of packaged COTS systems comprised of VPX, VMEbus or XMC backplanes housed in rugged chassis fully pre-configured with power supplies. These MPMC systems offer the unprecedented processing power and standard interfaces required by modern mission computers.

Curtiss-Wright’s selection of mission computers offers:

Rugged COTS mission computer subsystems
Environmentally-hardened subsystems — tailored to specific needs
Field-tested, MIL-STD qualified mission processors

With Curtiss-Wright’s pre-integrated, pre-qualified subsystems packaged by the factory to meet program requirements, customers dramatically reduce scheduling risk and program management overhead, while maximizing use of open architecture COTS technologies. Each unit features electrical/mechanical I/O expansion capabilities that enable rapid integration of payload-specific I/O interfaces for avionics, vetronics, situational awareness and other applications.
