To accelerate program development with no NRE investment and enable rapid integration, a UAV developer required a ready-to-deploy network attached storage system with reliable, redundant Ethernet network interfaces and expandable storage capacity with security.

Hypersonic platforms provide a challenge for flight test campaigns due to the application’s flight profiles and environments.

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 white paper discusses the challenges faced by hypersonic vehicles and proposes how flight test instrumentation (FTI) can aid in overcoming the challenges.

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).

Using the same cable for both power and data means that power can be delivered to devices without having to wire new circuits or requiring a separate transformer that converts AC power to DC.

In the third paper in our series, we cover additional features of the Dolphin PCIe Fabric Communications Library that help minimizes latency, maximize system bandwidth, and optimize configuration flexibility.

In this second white paper in our two-part series, we present several different software interfaces provided for applications development, comparing their advantages and tradeoffs. Finally, we present performance benchmarks using a variety of Curtiss-Wright.

We introduce the use of fabrics for high-performance embedded systems and focus on the hardware and architectural options available to the systems designer.

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.

When a large system integrator needed a SWaP optimized, rugged, network-attached storage system with NSA-approved encryption, a UAV contacted Curtiss-Wright for a trusted, proven solution.

A customer wished to move to the latest and greatest technology without having to change pinouts or cables on the aircraft.
