Full life-cycle and program support
To provide our customers access to the highest performing technology available, our designs begin with leading edge, Commercially-available Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technology based on industry standards and open system architectures. The use of COTS components as key subsystem building blocks maximizes the re-use of both common hardware and software building blocks tightly coupled with the programmatic support services we deliver. This approach decreases our customer's time to market and lowers their overall program development costs.
When a program requires a solution that goes beyond COTS, CW Subsystems can repackage COTS hardware and software products into a unique, customer-specific capability & form factor. By maintaining flexibility in systems designs, CW Subsystems is able to solve the most difficult legacy subsystem upgrades, and mitigate risk by reducing development time and program costs. We are the industry leader in defining and delivering programs that meet the most stringent long-term program needs.
Controlling access, surveillance within and around facilities, and ensuring personal safety, infrastructure, and investments are now at the forefront of corporations and government organizations. Our Security solutions subsystems utilize various sensor technologies including infra-red, image intensifying, motion, seismic, acoustic, radar, facial recognition, hand geometry, fingerprint, voice recognition and much more. Curtiss-Wright offers a full solution approach to a wide range of security requirements.
Cambridge, UK (formerly Primagraphics) - Radar Video Processing, Benign Graphics & Video
Curtiss-Wright's Cambridge operation provides subsystems solutions for the acquisition, processing, distribution and display of video and radar data. With the focus on providing a solution to a customer's problem, Curtiss-Wright combines standard product with customized engineering and specialist application knowledge to deliver a complete sub-system solution. With numerous successful installations in naval, airborne and land based applications, Curtiss-Wright has the product set and expertise to engineer high-performance solutions to real-world sensor display applications.
Santa Clarita, CA (formerly Vista Controls) - Subsystems
The Curtiss-Wright Subsystems business unit offers integration and system customization for customers who prefer to focus their efforts on the end application, rather than the intricacies of developing and integrating low-level hardware and software components. We have the expertise to design custom enclosures, perform full environmental qualification, and manage complex programs with many logistics and deliverable data items.
Curtiss-Wright subsystems leverages existing Curtiss-Wright hardware and software designs to quickly and cost effectively meet program specific customer requirements. Since systems frequently include the use of third-party hardware, Curtiss-Wright also procures and installs the hardware and integrates the software components. Our expertise at working with the low level hardware and device driver can mitigate unplanned project delays.
Curtiss-Wright Subsystems advantage:
- Integration of Curtiss-Wright hardware, software and third party products into a complete sub-system solution
- Access to a broad variety of third party products
- Hardware and software customization to meet sub-system level needs
- Provision of commercial development systems that are 100% software compatible with rugged production units.
- Custom design of backplanes, power supplies, wire harnesses and metalwork
- System level acceptance testing, including test code and full documentation
- Environmental qualification testing
Utilizing the expertise of Curtiss-Wright Subsystems allows for deployment of internal engineering resources onto real value creation activities, and minimizes the learning curve associated with post-delivery integration. Curtiss-Wright embedded systems, both COTS-based & custom, are delivered more quickly and economically, allowing for higher productivity at the application development level.
