Business Wire
Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) today announced that it
was awarded a contract by Raytheon Technologies to provide its
rugged Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA)-based processor and
networking modules for use in the NextGen SMP (Next Generation
Special Mission Processor). The NextGen SMP serves as the central
processing component of the AC/MC-130J aircraft (also known as the
Ghostrider and Commando II).
"We are very proud to have been selected by Raytheon
Technologies to support the secure mission processing requirements
of this important special operations platform with our rugged
commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) modular open system processing
technology,” said Lynn M. Bamford, President and CEO of
Curtiss-Wright Corporation. “Curtiss-Wright has established a
leadership role in delivering the numerous benefits of MOSA
solutions to the U.S. Air Force and other military forces, and we
are excited to provide these critical technologies to support the
Air Force Special Operations Command.”
According to the DoD, the use of MOSA solutions is expected to
“support a more rapid evolution of capabilities and technologies
throughout the product life cycle through the use of architecture
modularity, open systems standards, and appropriate business
practices.” The DoD now mandates the use of MOSA solutions in all
requirements, programming and development activities for future
weapon system modifications and new start development programs to
the maximum extent possible.
The NextGen SMP provides the Air Force Special Operations
Command (AFSOC) with secure commercial-off-the-shelf mission
systems to integrate with the aircraft displays, sensors, and other
onboard systems. The NextGen SMP solution is based on an
open-computing environment that addresses obsolescence and enables
rapid deployment of third-party application software to the Air
Force.
Shipments have begun and are scheduled to run through 2032.
