Curtiss-Wright Controls awarded contract from Raytheon
Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc. today announced that it received a contract from Raytheon to provide rugged single board computers (SBC), digital signal processors (DSP) and buffer memory cards for use in the Centurion Weapon System that Raytheon supplies to the US Army. The initial contract, valued at $5.7 million was for deliveries in 2010. There is potential for additional deliveries with an estimated value of $5 million in 2011.
"We are proud to have been selected by Raytheon to provide our rugged high performance computing and digital signal processing modules for use in the US Army's critical Centurion Weapon System," said David Adams, co-chief operating officer of Curtiss-Wright Corporation
Curtiss-Wright will develop the SBCs at its San Diego, CA facility. The DSP boards are developed at the company's Ashburn, VA facility, and the buffer memory modules are developed at its Chatsworth, CA location. The systems will be shipped to Raytheon in Louisville, KY.
Curtiss-Wright will provide Raytheon with its SVME-412 DSP, SCP-122 SBC, SPMC-230 StarLink module and MM-6790F/8M Flash Module. The boards will provide processing for use in the Centurion Weapon System which is based on the proven Phalanx system for intercepting rockets, artillery and mortar rounds in the air before impact, thereby reducing or eliminating damage. The Curtiss-Wright boards will control the system's target tracking system radar and to compute fire correlations in the main system computer.
