Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing was created to be a single end-to-end supplier of commercial and rugged grade COTS computing solutions that span the full range of embedded system technology, from board-level products to fully integrated sub-systems.

For more information on our CSA program download: >> CSA fact sheet >> CSA firmware datasheet (both require registration).

To achieve this goal, Curtiss-Wright created the COTS Continuum Program to develop a common software, hardware and mechanical architecture for future Curtiss-Wright products. This comprehensive architecture will standardize I/O routing and pin-outs, electrical interfaces, APIs to all hardware functionality, and provide a common HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) and user documentation across the entire breadth of Curtiss-Wright products. The net result will be a common out-of-box experience for Curtiss-Wright product families and next generation products that will benefit all users by easing their technology insertion processes.

As a first step towards meeting that objective, Curtiss-Wright has introduced Continuum Software Architecture (CSA), which reduces development, maintenance and support costs while simplifying the integration of Curtiss-Wright components into one complete system.
