Curtiss-Wright Corporation announced today that it has been awarded a $31 million firm-fixed-price IDIQ contract by the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) to supply Airborne Mission Processors (AMP) and spare parts in support of the PMA-262 Persistent Maritime Unmanned Aircraft Systems’ MQ-4C Triton and the PMA-290 Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft programs. The contract also includes Total Lifecycle Management™, training, and engineering support for the AMP. Work will be carried out by Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division and is expected to continue through September 2029.
The AMP solution incorporates Curtiss-Wright’s leading Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) modules, including the VPX6-1959 single board computer, CHAMP-XD2M High Memory Capacity Multi-Core HPEC Module, VPX6-684 Network Switch, and VPX6-4943 GPGPU board, along with supporting components such as the front panels, fan control board, and chassis.
Previously, Curtiss-Wright also announced the delivery and support of MOSA-based Keyed Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Airborne Recorder (K-BAR) Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems for the MQ-4C Triton and future PMA-290 aircraft. These solutions include chassis, docking stations, removable storage modules, and laboratory cable sets.
