U.S. Navy to Acquire High-Speed Data Acquisition Systems

Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions Division has been awarded a contract by Naval Air Systems Command to procure its high-speed data acquisition hardware and associated repair services.

This is in support of the Naval Air Systems Command Special Flight Test Instrumentation Pool.

The Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, which is scheduled to run through January 2030, covers Curtiss-Wright’s full line of flight test instrumentation products, including data acquisition units, network switches, data recorders, network gateways, Ethernet radios, RF transmitters, C-Band transponders, and high-speed cameras supporting fixed-wing and rotary military aircraft.

This contract will support numerous platforms including the F-35, F-18, CH-53K, E-2D, EA-18, C-130, and future U.S. Navy development programs.

Curtiss-Wright provides aerospace data acquisition solutions for flight test instrumentation (FTI) applications. Whether on fast jets, space launchers or hypersonic platforms, from data capture in the air to replay and analysis on the ground, Curtiss-Wright’s FTI solutions are used for flight test instrumentation system design and installation.

Brian Perry, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions Division, stated, “We are honored that our high-speed data acquisition technology and services have been selected by Naval Air Systems Command.

“This IDIQ contract, which is the renewal of an existing contract that has been in use for over 15 years, represents Naval Air Systems Command’s continued endorsement of the reliability and performance of our flight test instrumentation technology to support critical naval air deployments and future U.S. Navy development programs.”
