Rate Sensor Assembly CWCDS produces cutting-edge rate sensor assemblies that are based on a single and dual-axis fiber-optic gyro sensor. The rate sensor assemblies provide next generation gun and turret stabilization with dynamic pointing and precision measurement capabilities at a fraction of the mechanical gyro life-cycle cost. Because it is based on optical fibers and has no moving parts to wear out or fail, the fiber-optic gyro sensor lasts far longer than mechanical spin-wheel gyros and delivers significant cost savings over time. Rate Sensor Assembly fiber optic gyroscopes	Motion Control Handles Curtiss-Wright has long term experience in developing universal motion control handles. These hand stations are available as 1- or 2-hand control handles. Each of the ergonomically designed handles can hold up to 10 independent sealed switches for the most varied functions. 1 and 2 hand motion control handles
