Most subsystems can be configured using off-the-shelf modules. However, there will always be unique requirements that cannot be met without either some adaptive engineering of an existing product or development of an entirely new module to suit a specific project’s requirements. We share common engineering standards across Curtiss-Wright for designing products for rugged environments, and have access to research into component technology, Printed Wiring Boards (PWB), solder joint reliability, thermal management and software development. All of these can be leveraged to provide the best and most affordable solutions for specialized requirements.

Our capability extends beyond derivative engineering of COTS products. We can provide  complete custom solutions, if the available space or shape precludes open-systems standards such as VME VPX, VXS or CompactPCI. Similarly, our deep understanding of many control-based applications makes it possible to offer innovative COTS- based technology replacement solutions for complete obsolete or un-maintainable subsystems already in the field.
