A Piece of Curtiss-Wright History Set to Fly on Mars
NASA has announced the first flight of an aircraft on another planet, and a piece of Curtiss-Wright history gets to ride along.
Why High-Precision Train Tilting Is Good for Business
Download the infographic to learn the five ways the right train tilting system improves business.
7 Ways Single-Vendor Video Systems Reduce Risks and Costs
Choosing a single vendor for a complete video solution massively reduces program risks and costs. Sourcing individual components, such as military-grade monitors with projected capacitive touch screen technology, rugged video recorders, and video management solutions with low latency,...
TDL Interoperability and Unified Naval Communications
As navies move towards greater interoperability, challenges arise in ensuring support for an increasing number of TDL standards in use. And, with TDL standards constantly evolving, system integration can increase costs, program risk, and time to deployment.
7 Ways Navies Can Optimize Tactical Data Link System Integration
Integrate fully interoperable TDL systems efficiently and cost-effectively on manned and unmanned naval platforms with TDL solutions built on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) systems. Curtiss-Wright’s standards-based COTS and Non-Developmental Item (NDI) TDL products reduce program...
How Modularity Can Shorten System Development and Decrease Costs
Learn how modified COTS application engineering services can help integrators meet their cost, schedule, quality, and technical requirements, while reducing risk and eliminating traditional NRE fees.
Beware of Multi-Vendor Video System Design
You may think you are keeping costs down by sourcing individual system components for an end-to-end video system from different vendors, but the costs associated with system integration and installation can often deteriorate any initial savings realized and also increase program risk.
Infographic: The Evolution of Ground Vehicle Video Systems
Through the years, the level of sophistication and complexity of video management systems on board ground vehicle platforms has evolved to provide an enhanced level of tactical situational awareness to operators and commanders.
CESMO: A Common Denominator for Tactical Data Link Systems
Minimizing the time between transmission, detection, position fix, targeting, and sharing data among friendly forces is essential on todays battlefield. Cooperative Electronic Support Measure Operations (CESMO) data gives NATO coalition forces this visibility.
Build or Buy: The Strains of Designing a Flight Recorder
Designing flight recorders (FR) that complies to international standards and crash survivability is very challenging and is usually far more expensive than buying one from an established FR manufacturer.
