Curtiss-Wright’s open architecture Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) based rugged embedded computing solutions process data in real time to support mission critical functions. We play a key industry role in the establishment of resources and services to ensure that our customers have access to the long lifecycle support required by aerospace and defense programs. We offer comprehensive approaches for mitigating obsolescence, blocking the use of counterfeit parts, and developing product roadmaps to ease the integration of future generations of technologies.

Curtiss-Wright is an American company with global manufacturing, services, and support capabilities. Our design and manufacturing facilities located in the United States, Canada, and Europe, as well as sales and support experts around the globe, can help satisfy your regional requirements without sacrificing quality.

With a range of software tools and solutions that have been developed from the ground up to support a range of defense and aerospace applications, Curtiss-Wright reduces program risk and cost by ensuring the software that supports our systems are fully supported throughout the programs lifecycle.

Flight test campaigns typically operate within very compressed timeframes, and delays can lead to expensive additional flights and excessive overtime for engineers. It's not unusual for requirements to change during a campaign, and this can take significant amounts of time due to complex installation of equipment and wiring.

Today’s data acquisition systems are large and complex, and each new program may need new technologies and systems. Curtiss-Wright’s range of products allows you to build a system from one supplier to meet your needs. Our modular approach means rapid deployment using COTS building blocks, with scope for custom alterations where necessary to complete your unique requirements. By driving the latest innovations in size, power, breadth of offering, expert advice, and support, the result is a light and easy system to set up and maintain.

Curtiss-Wright's in-house manufacturing capability delivers a combination of responsiveness, flexibility and quality that far exceeds anything achievable by contract manufacturing. The video provides an inside look at this facility and some of its advanced equipment.

The Curtiss-Wright Space COTS Advantage helps reduce costs, development time and risk by using a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) approach that utilizes an extensive library of proven IP and decades of rugged system design experience. Our designers optimize systems for low cost of ownership based on a customer’s application and the procurement life of the platform. The Curtiss-Wright Space COTS versatility has been fully proven – no other COTS system has been qualified and used successfully in such a wide variety of space missions for both Development Flight Instrumentation (DFI) and Operational Flight Instrumentation (OFI) requirements.
