Case Studies

Through expertise in designing SWaP-optimized systems, Curtiss-Wright designed the flight control computer with alternate mounting technique, which resulted in significant improvements in thermal performance, system reliability, and system performance.

This case study describes a crash-protected recorder designed by Curtiss-Wright to interface to a Data Management Unit (DMU) for a mid-range commercial airliner that had schedule challenges and changing requirements.

An extended-service marine patrol aircraft required a signal processing and display computer to provide an upgrade in capability and performance. Learn about the solution Curtiss-Wright provided.

SDR requires high-performance signal acquisition building blocks. Curtiss-Wright offers a wide range of rugged signal acquisition products ready for integration with processing and Radio Frequency (RF) electronics for deployment.

This case study discusses the U.S. Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR)'s requirement for an IP network backbone upgrade for the AAVC-7A1, the command variant of the US Marine Corps (USMC) Amphibious Assault Vehicle.

NLR (National Aerospace Laboratory) helped the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) instrument one of their 68 F-16’s with an upgrade data acquisition system designed around flexibility and minimizing space.

It is difficult to have a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Data Acquisition System that fulfills both the robustness and channel density criteria - the Curtiss-Wright Acra KAM-500 fulfills both of these criteria using COTS equipment.

Curtiss-Wright was selected to provide its COTS data acquisition, networking and recording systems to the European Space Agency for the IXV which are qualified to meet requirements for space equipment such as radiation tolerance and high reliability.

The ACLS monitoring system required a number of distributed Data Acquisition Units (DAU) for both the OGA and CCA.

Fire Control and Vehicle Computer applications are more demanding than ever, performing tasks faster with extreme accuracy required as standard. Read the case study!

Capturing video feeds from several sensors and making that data available to the user is required for many applications. Usually, this data is critical for mission completion, post-mission analysis, and personal safety.
