Case Studies

A leading C5ISR system integrator reached out to Curtiss-Wright in search of network-attached storage (NAS) server that would bring their aging fleet up-to-date.

While developing a new intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) system, a large aerospace developer approached Curtiss-Wright for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment that had to fit into a space-constrained, propeller-driven aircraft.

A company that was developing their own hypersonic vehicle for use as a technology test bed wanted a flight test instrumentation (FTI), recording, and transmission system.

This case study is the application example of CESMO, which a white paper has been written on. CESMO is a digital protocol that NATO has adopted to support EW operations.

Multiple eVTOL aircraft developers from America and Europe have come to Curtiss-Wright seeking rugged COTS hardware to be used for prototyping as they develop their new aircraft platforms for production.

A leading prime contractor of airborne imaging systems came to Curtiss-Wright with a 3U OpenVPX system architecture design problem they were doubtful could be solved, given the project’s constraints.

Réaltra was awarded a contract to develop a launcher video telemetry system (LVTS) that will provide the onboard live video telemetry for a launcher that is anticipated to fly in 2021.

In 2019, Rheinmetall Defence Australia was awarded a contract to provide a replacement of the Australian Army’s Light Armoured Vehicle in support of Phase 2 of the Land 400 project.

A manufacturer of a large military aircraft required a mission recording system to collect engineering data from around the aircraft and store it on a recorder for post-mission analysis.

A new aircraft development program wanted to deploy the most modern avionics systems available to ensure the aircraft could compete against the newest on the market.

Aerospace integrators are often called upon to upgrade aging airframes with new electronic payloads to extend their lifespan and mission capabilities.

In search of a small form factor network attached storage (NAS) solution for a new UUV, an engineer at a defense contractor reached out to Curtiss-Wright. The UUV required a high storage capacity solution to store critical mission data on long-range missions.
