Curtiss-Wright Expands Axon™ Flight Test Instrumentation Family With New Power Injector Module

Curtiss-Wright Introduces SOSA Aligned VPX6-682E 100 GbE Switch for High-performance Embedded Systems

Flight test is essentially a process of proving that an aircraft is safe and performs as designed. Instrumentation engineers install sensors all over the aircraft and then fly it in a carefully controlled environment. The collected data must be high-quality as it’s the hard evidence that the aircraft is ready for its intended civil or military application.

Under the contract, Curtiss-Wright will provide Rheinmetall with its ruggedized, state-of-the-art power management technology and gyroscopes to help control the mobile air defense system’s lightweight turret.

Quantum computing threatens encrypted defense data. Learn how adopting post-quantum cryptography and future-proof storage systems thwarts “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” strategies.

For decades, warfighters have faced communication gaps at the tactical edge – where networks are often unstable, bandwidth is limited, and conditions change rapidly Maintaining reliable, flexible command and control in the most challenging environments has been a long-standing problem in military communications.

Every time an aircraft takes to the sky, an intricate web of highly sophisticated systems works in harmony to ensure a safe journey. But what exactly makes these systems so reliable, especially when even a tiny malfunction could have catastrophic consequences?

Curtiss-Wright today announced it has been selected by Rheinmetall Landsysteme Germany (RLS) to provide its modular turret drive stabilization system (TDSS) technology in support of the KF51 Panther Main Battle Tank (MBT).
