The Curtiss-Wright team is showcasing its latest integrated flight test instrumentation (FTI) solutions this week at the International Telemetry Conference (ITC) 2025 in Las Vegas. Visitors to booth #911 can experience live demonstrations featuring an integrated telemetry and flight-termination system, new data-acquisition hardware, a miniature time-space-positioning information system (TSPI), and advanced analysis and display software - all designed to address the growing demands of commercial and defense flight test programs.
“Our customers face increasing pressure to gather, process, and analyze greater volumes of data within limited flight test windows,” said Darian Wong, General Manager, Aerospace Instrumentation and Integrated Solutions, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions. “Our comprehensive, fully integrated FTI solutions help ensure that every link in the data chain - from acquisition to analysis - functions reliably and efficiently. That reliability is essential to keeping flight-test programs on schedule.”
Throughout ITC 2025, Curtiss-Wright is demonstrating several new capabilities, including:
- A new modular telemetry and flight-termination system
- Next-generation DAU modules, including a PoE injector and video encoder
- A miniature TSPI system - compact, highly accurate, and field-ready
- Advanced data analysis and display tools, providing seamless acquisition-to-insight workflows
- High-speed data acquisition system
Technical Presentations
Curtiss-Wright subject-matter experts are also presenting several peer-reviewed papers focused on advancing FTI integration and performance:
