Acceptance Testing Hardware Testing System functionality is thoroughly tested via Curtiss-Wright test racks with interfaces for every possible input and output.
Software Testing Philosophy Curtiss-Wright performs software stress tests for programs where every interface is loaded in efforts to accurately represent fielded applications. Program Management Our program management team acts as a single point of contact for customers, providing regular status updates on development and delivery while ensuring the success of the program throughout the life of deployed units.
Risk Management Curtiss-Wright risk management process is tailored to identify potential risks before they occur. Risks that may impact performance, functionality, time of delivery, acceptance, or cost are identified and prioritized to ensure that there are no surprises for the customer.
Lifecycle and Logistics Management Curtiss-Wright focuses on maintaining hardware support and availability throughout the life of the program, with supply support and reasonable turn around repair times. From the development phase, to low rate production, to full production and eventually obsolenscence management - we'll be there to support you every step of the way! Embedded System Advantages Integration Curtiss-Wright ensures that all boards and software work together - the customer does not have to deal with incompatible drivers, backplane issues or BSP versions.
Program Management Curtiss-Wright provides program management to ensure customer programs proceed as intended, giving the customer visibility into the effort to ensure they are informed of and satisfied with the development and delivery of product.
Supply Chain Management Customers place a single PO & have only one item to maintain on their system Bill of Materials, thus saving time by having the supplier deal with component level items.
Lifecycle Management Our program management team tracks end of life issues & last time buys so the systems can be deployed fifteen years or longer.
Lower Costs Packaged COTS products leverage fully developed system solutions so NRE costs are greatly reduced.
Shorter Lead Times With a collection of intellectual property to use, Curtiss-Wright is extremely efficient at designing and modifying systems leading to vastly reduced delivery times compared to developing new systems.
Risk Mitigation Development – Packaged COTS solutions reduce risk by using products available today rather than undertaking new hardware or software development and certification tasks.
More Flexibility Packaged COTS systems are designed with the flexibility of open architecture and facilitate the option to support many different configurations based on customer requirements. |
