Curtiss-Wright’s modular open systems approach (MOSA) to building processing systems leverages the latest commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)
technology, enabling our computing solutions to process data in real-time to support mission-critical functions. Curtiss-Wright’s open architecture
COTS-based rugged embedded computing solutions process data in real time to support mission-critical functions. We play a key industry role
in the establishment of resources and services to ensure that our customers have access to the long lifecycle support required by aerospace
and defense programs. We offer comprehensive approaches for mitigating obsolescence, blocking the use of counterfeit parts, and developing
product roadmaps to ease the integration of future generations of technologies.

The Curtiss-Wright Advantage
Curtiss-Wright is a technological leader in providing COTS-based modular open system approaches to build our mission computing, signal
processing, graphics, communication fabrics, system and sensing I/O, and enclosure products.
The “building block” approach to providing solutions gives our customers great benefits with respect to cost, lead time, and supportability. While
providing these non-developmental items, the technology developed and the intellectual property also becomes a benefit for our customers in the
ability to provide custom or point-design products when necessary.
Curtiss-Wright has products on hundreds of programs and continues to provide support throughout their life cycle. This experience has taught us
that long term support, obsolescence management, and security are key aspects of every program, and sometimes raises concerns of risk when
applying COTS technology. To eliminate this concern, Curtiss-Wright provides product families for a volume production period of five to seven
plus years. During this period, products undergo continuous improvement through software revisions, reliability enhancements and component
upgrades. We realize our customers require knowledge, and often control, of these improvements. Application stability and predictability is
essential for deployed mission-critical systems, which have an in-service life long past the volume production period. To meet these marketplace
demands, Curtiss-Wright provides a suite of Total LifeCycle Management™ that safeguard your programs and mitigate the challenges associated
with leveraging COTS technology for long-term mission-critical systems.

High accuracy, low drift sensors can be used to provide pilots and autopilots with the information they need to travel at high altitudes safer. The
effects of rotor downwash can be alleviated with digital filtering that reduces the pneumatic noise in air pressure without adding weight like
mechanical solutions. Multiple aircraft can be fitted with identical ADCs as long as each ADC is capable of holding multiple sets of configuration
data to match the target platform.
Curtiss-Wright has developed technologies within its ADC product line to address these needs. High accuracy sensors and decades of experience
provide stable data while digital filtering technology mitigate rotor downwash effects. Fully rugged design ensures reliable operation. The needs of
diverse fleets are simplified with a single unit being usable on up to 15 different platforms through a simple pin-out selection. Curtiss-Wright has
over 40 years’ experience developing air data solutions and that knowledge helps us get you the best solution available on the market today.

Video Recorders
Curtiss-Wright’s range of video recorders allows one or more video streams to be recorded for debrief, training or evidential purposes.
A recorder may be connected to a video distribution unit to allow selection of a specific video stream to be captured, or routed to
the output of a mission display to enable an accurate copy of the screen content to be seen by the operator and be recorded. Widely
available flash storage technology is used for easy removal at the end of a mission for transfer onto a computer or permanent archive.
Flight Recorders
Aircraft OEMs and operators who want flight recorders need to meet certain regulations. These can change and it can be difficult to ensure your
investment will be future proof. For older aircraft, high maintenance costs, lack of functionality or the push to upgrade systems and reduce weight
can mean a new recorder is required.
Curtiss-Wright has been designing cockpit voice and flight data recorders for over 60 years. Our Fortress product line today meets all current and
anticipated regulations (including ED-112A and 25 hour voice / datalink recording). They are designed to be compact and lightweight and have a
modular interface design to allow rapid customization for particular aircraft needs. This modularization facilitates additional functionality which
can help reduce LRU count by integrating functionality into the recorder to further lower weight and free up space and can add functionality such
as image recording, encryption and additional data for programs such as usage monitoring.

Program Specific Systems
Multi-Platform Mission Management System
Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions’ Multi-Platform Mission Management (MPMM) system was designed from the beginning with high performance
computing, ruggedization and flexibility in mind. The MPMM provides the raw horsepower needed for airborne mission management applications.
At the heart of the MPMM System is the Intel Xeon D-1587 System on Chip (SoC) with 128GB of DDR4 SDRAM. The help with the processing, the
MPMM can be outfitted with either another Xeon D-1587 or dual NVIDIA Pascal™ P5000 GPUs. Two NVIDIA Pascal GP107s are also included for
additional GPU resources. All combined, the MPMM provides over 300 TFLOPS of performance in under thirty pounds!

Acquisition
Many new Software Defined Radio (SDR) and Electronic Warfare (EW) systems are being deployed on small platforms requiring sophisticated
capabilities, such as GigaHertz (GHz) sampling rates and FPGA-based processing to handle the data rates. The Curtiss-Wright VPX3-530 ADC/DAC
meets these requirements within a compact 3U OpenVPX form factor, enabling highly effective SDR and EW implementations.
Curtiss-Wright’s mid-size SDR and EW System enables customers to select their preferred RF tuner and software applications (i.e. GNU Radio,
Red Hawk or SCA). By provides up to sixteen analog inputs (12-bit up to 2 Gsps) and eight (14-bit < 2.8 Gsps output channels), the SDR and
EW system is easily able to interface L-band or S-band RF frequencies. The SDR is built from COTS products. The system consists of five 3U
VPX modules, one XMC module, a power supply, backplane and front panel assemblies housed in a MPMC-9354 chassis designed to operate in
rugged environments.

approach is so adaptable that it can be retrofitted to existing systems.
Safety Certifiable
Certifying avionics subsystems to DO-254/DO-178 standards can be a costly and time consuming process. This is especially true for developments
where a customized product is required. Curtiss-Wright has decades of experience developing safety certified and low risk certifiable products from
DO-254/DO-178B Design Assurance Levels (DAL) A to E. Through this experience, we have accumulated mature processes, hardware design and
software development techniques that allow us to reduce your certification risk, project costs and accelerate your time to market.
In addition to certified avionics subsystems, such as air data computers, Curtiss-Wright has developed safety certifiable COTS hardware circuit card
assemblies where AC/AMC 20-152A is the means of compliance (RTCA DO-254/EUROCAE ED-80 DAL A) with available artifacts. Thus systems, such
as mission computers and multi-function controllers, can be delivered to meet your unique requirements using proven hardware elements. This
helps you get your critical aviation systems fielded sooner.
