Curtiss-Wright‘s defense solutions unit will provide Ethernet switches to the United Launch Alliance for Atlas V and Delta IV rockets under a $2 million contract, Military & Aerospace Electronics reported Friday.
John Keller writes the Lockheed Martin and Boeing joint venture selected Curtiss-Wright’s rugged commercial off-the-shelf Parvus DuraNET 3000 for the U.S. Air Force‘s Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program.
ULA will use the switch pre-launch communications between the flight control computer and launch control as part of the ULA common avionics initiative for the Atlas and Delta rockets.
Work will occur at a Salt Lake City facility that houses the Parvus business unit, which Curtiss-Wright acquired in 2013.
