Mission management systems that meet ever-present size, weight, and power (SWaP) demands while providing the scalability and flexibility to handle all of the mission tasks today’s warfighter may encounter.

Whether looking for a modular, SFF LRU or a scalable VPX system designed to meet your program requirements, Curtiss-Wright computing systems are built rugged to perform optimally in the harshest deployed environments on land, in the air, or at sea.

Deploy Faster with Complete Integrated Mission Management Systems

The military and aerospace market maintains an insatiable appetite for smaller, lighter, and cheaper. Recent technological breakthroughs in SWaP-C reduction have yielded the introduction of USFF mission computer and networking systems.

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).

When 30-year-old airborne surveillance and control equipment mounted on the underside of an aging helicopter required replacement, the manufacturer needed a partner they could rely on to provide mission-critical processing technology in harsh environments.

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

This white paper explores how some of the use-case considerations and technological advances are driving system integrators to pursue a distributed over a consolidated system architecture and visa-versa.

A system integrator required small form factor (SFF) mission processors, network switches, and network-attached storage (NAS) with government-approved encryption for UUV operations. Read about the solution we developed here.
