Curtiss-Wright Embedded Systems

Whether your intent is to maximize COTS content or leverage an existing custom solution, you’ve come to the right place for all your Embedded Systems needs. Take advantage of our decades of experience in assembling generic platforms, upon which you can build your applications. Or leverage specific system solutions that focus on addressing full compliance to platform/program requirements. Either way, we have the products, open standard technologies and system platforms to keep your program ahead of schedule and on budget. Your success is the standard.

Packaged COTS
Curtiss-Wright's family of Multi-Platform Mission Computers (MPMC) are packaged COTS (PCOTS) subsystems comprised of state-of-the-art components from our embedded computing library integrated into our ruggedized enclosures. These MPMC Systems are fully qualified for field deployment, designed with SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) provide advanced rugged computing solutions with faster deployment, lower development costs and reduced program risk.
Packaged COTS
High Density Computing Systems
Curtiss-Wright's high density computing systems are characterized by extensive design work, performance specification, certifiable software, and long-term program management.
Rapid Prototype

Surveillance Systems
Curtiss-Wright's Skyquest surveillance systems offers complete surveillance solutions for rotary and fixed wing aircraft.  Our systems include rugged displays, video distribution and recording equipment that are scalable, highly interoperable and easy to install and reconfigure.

High Density Computing

Recorders and Storage Solutions
Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing offers high-performance recording and playback solutions for any application, from those requiring frequent "snapshots" of small packets of data to those requiring acquisition of long periods of multiple channels of streaming data. Some models feature playback at real-time rates so that simulation exercises can be conducted multiple times using the same captured data.

High Density Computing
Rapid Prototype Systems
Curtiss-Wright's rapid prototype systems are air-cooled or conduction-cooled systems quickly integrated for hardware and software development while the deployed units are still being built. These systems are characterized by quick turnaround, low volume, and rapid development. In addition, rapid prototype systems are completely comprised of COTS components.
High Density Computing

3d Ground Penetrating Radar Systems
3d Radar has pioneered next generation 3d Ground Penetrating Radar (3d GPR) using step frequency radar technology and innovative multi channel antenna design. Our vision is to be the global leader and the preferred instrument supplier for detecting and mapping underground infrastructure.

 

Custom COTS
If your requirements are above and beyond what our Packaged  COTS platforms can provide, we are willing and able to configure and test a COTS custom system based on any Curtiss Wright’s Embedded Computing COTS board.

 
Development Systems
Our development systems or Quick Start Kits (QSKs) enable developers to begin their software development while they are waiting for their conduction cooled COTS boards or systems and offer a low cost development platform.
 

Advantages of a Curtiss-Wright Embedded System

Integration
Curtiss-Wright ensures that all boards and software work together - the customer does not have to deal with incompatible drivers, backplane issues or BSP versions.

Program Management
Curtiss-Wright provides program management to ensure customer programs proceed as intended, giving the customer visibility into the effort to ensure they are informed of and satisfied with the development and delivery of product.

Supply Chain Management
Customers place a single PO & have only one item to maintain on their system Bill of Materials, thus saving time by having the supplier deal with component level items.

Lifecycle Management
Our program management team tracks end of life issues & last time buys so the systems can be deployed fifteen years or longer.

Lower Costs
Packaged COTS products leverage fully developed system solutions so NRE costs are greatly reduced.

Shorter Lead Times
With a collection of intellectual property to use, Curtiss-Wright is extremely efficient at designing and modifying systems leading to vastly reduced delivery times compared to developing new systems.

Risk Mitigation
Development – Packaged COTS solutions reduce risk by using products available today rather than undertaking new hardware or software development and certification tasks.

More Flexibility
Packaged COTS systems are designed with the flexibility of open architecture and facilitate the option to support many different configurations based on customer requirements.
