Mission Read Solutions for Every Domain. Our portfolio of defense aerospace technologies includes arresting systems, flight monitoring, rugged modular avionics for mission computing and operation, and encrypted flight and data recorders. We are also a leading supplier of electro-mechanical actuation systems, sensors and valves for a wide range of military aerospace applications, including flight controls, engine controls, landing gear, and utility actuation. Services supporting this market are surface technologies including, peening services, engineered coatings, as well as materials testing and analysis.

In addition, Curtiss-Wright delivers comprehensive embedded electronics solutions engineered to perform in the harshest environments. Our rugged mission computers and networking systems are available in a full spectrum of SWaP-C optimized form factors and ruggedization levels designed to meet the exacting deployment requirements of today’s rotorcraft and fixed-wing platforms.

Enhancing Performance, Durability, and Survivability. Curtiss-Wright’s defense aerospace offerings also include high performance, high reliability sensors and valves built for the most demanding military applications. Our solutions support critical systems across a wide range of platforms, delivering precision, reliability, and long operational life.

On aircraft carriers around the world, Curtiss-Wright arresting systems safely dissipate the kinetic energy of an aircraft during emergency or tactical landings—providing controlled deceleration to ensure safe and reliable recovery in the most extreme conditions.

To extend the life of critical components and reduce sustainment costs, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of surface treatments and analytical services. These include peening services; shot peening, laser peening, cavitation peening, peen forming, C.A.S.E. superfinishing and additive manufacturing post processing, engineered coatings; parylene and liquid conformal coatings, dry film lubricants, EMI/RFI shielding, thermal spray, and plasma electrolytic oxidation, along with materials testing and analysis services. Each service is designed to enhance component strength, extend fatigue life, and protect against corrosion, wear, and extreme operating conditions.

Today – Tomorrow – Beyond Curtiss-Wright is developing next-generation capabilities in partnership with leading technology providers such as NVIDIA. By applying AI, machine learning, and advanced signal processing at the tactical edge, we are enabling new levels of situational awareness, autonomy, and decision speed. These innovations are shaping the future of defense aviation—supporting missions today while preparing for the challenges of tomorrow.
