Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) today announced that it
was awarded a contract by Lockheed Martin to provide its Modular
Open System Approach (MOSA) computers and video processing modules
to upgrade the Mission Computer and Flight Management Computer
(MC/FMC) on the U.S. Navy’s fleet of Sikorsky MH-60R/S Seahawk
helicopters. The initial contract is valued at $24 million, with an
estimated lifetime value of $70 million.
“We are very proud to have been selected by Lockheed Martin to
provide our rugged commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies to
support the upgrade of the U.S. Navy’s MH-60R/S Seahawk helicopter
fleet,” said Lynn M. Bamford, President and CEO of Curtiss-Wright
Corporation. “Curtiss-Wright’s selection on this upgrade program is
representative of our technology leadership in MOSA-based rugged
COTS modules, and our ability to rapidly and cost-effectively
modernize legacy military platforms with open-standards
solutions.”
Under the contract, Curtiss-Wright is providing Lockheed Martin
with rugged single board computers and video processing modules.
The modules result from Curtiss-Wright’s Modified COTS program,
which enables system integrators to upgrade individual modules in
their legacy systems without having to replace the entire system,
significantly speeding delivery of advanced technology to the
warfighter. Shipments began in December 2020.
The MH-60R/S MC/FMC upgrade will bring advanced display graphics
capabilities to this important helicopter platform, providing
compatibility with existing imaging and display systems and
offering enhanced capabilities for future imaging sensors and
high-resolution displays. The modules also enable integration of
Curtiss-Wright’s enhanced Trusted and Secure Computing features to
ensure system resiliency and secure operation in response to cyber
attacks.
