Case Studies

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.

This case study describes how a space vehicle designer was able to rapidly implement a system to collect all of the data from onboard computers and accommodate late changes to requirements.

Gathering and analyzing mission data onboard a utility helicopter requires secure data recording and storage.

As unmanned vehicles become more powerful and complex, their electronics payloads must adapt to match new mission objectives. This often forces aerospace and defense system integrators to push for reductions in size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C).

TCG HUNTR software installed on a Parvus DuraCOR 8043 mission computer, displayed on a GVDU mission display, provides operators with a rugged, small form factor solution that can be used on the battlefield with minimal training and almost no expertise.

Sounding rockets can carry experiments to altitudes that are often unsuitable for balloons and satellites and are much more cost-efficient since they do not require expensive boosters or extended telemetry and tracking coverage.

A customer sought a secure data storage solution that could maintain reliability under extreme temperatures and vibration, and be available off the shelf.

The project involved upgrading their existing video system that helped provide situational awareness during the target towing process.

This case study examines the problem of needing a graphics display computer for a space-constrained jet trainer aircraft with limited onboard space and no room to support a fan-cooled system.

This case study describes how an organization ensured there was no transmitter interference with other onboard electronics.

A global helicopter manufacturer, faced with a need to upgrade an existing EW suite to increase functionality, sought high-performance technology with a reputable pedigree that they could offer to their growing customer base.

The rapid change in both sensor and video system technology in the last decade has pushed aircraft operators to evaluate their system architecture to maximize performance and reduce complexity and system weight.
