Here’s how it usually goes: Faced with the need to upgrade an older platform or design a new one, a prime contractor will select – where it makes most sense in terms of risk, cost, and time – a mix of COTS [commercial off-the-shelf] suppliers and system integrators to function as subcontractors that will develop and build the various subsystems their program demands.

How do you design vehicle electronics (vetronics) to be easily upgraded as technology inevitably marches forward? These are the issues the defense industry must focus on in 2024 and beyond.

Curtiss-Wright, in collaboration with Wind River, Ansys, and CoreAVI, demonstrated a new digital cockpit flight display at the 2024 MOSA Industry & Government Summit & Expo.

On Fish Fry, host Amelia Dalton speaks with Aaron Frank of Curtiss-Wright about the evolution of processing for embedded systems and the biggest benefits of hybrid processors.

An Embedded Computing Design editor and Aaron Frank, senior product manager at Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions, discuss the evolution of processor cores, multitasking capabilities, future trends involving processor design, and more.

On Electronic Engineering Journal's podcast program Fish Fry, host Amelia Dalton speaks with David Jedynak of Curtiss-Wright about the past, present, and future of VITA standards.

Every day, at peak operational times in the U.S., the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Organization (ATO) handles approximately 5,400 aircraft flying in 29 million square miles of controlled airspace.

In rugged computing, "the hardest problem to solve is thermal management," says Curtiss-Wright's Dechiaro. "As processors get faster they tend to generate more heat.
