Fire Control & Communications Processors
Curtiss Wright Controls Defense Solutions’ digital fire control solutions are relied upon to perform fire control on land and sea platforms. By incorporating platform communication interfaces, our Fire Control computers provide resources for management of the vehicle’s MIL-STD-1553 data bus and serial port interfaces, as well as weapons and sight head control. The onboard control software closes the position loop for the weapons/Commander’s viewer to quickly and accurately aim and hold stable the main or coax weapons of the vehicle, independent of whether the vehicle is stationary or moving and whether tracking stationary or moving targets.
Our fire control computers have found generations of success in fast, accurate computation of ballistics solutions for a wide range of artillery weapons and fire support coordination including primary weapons, large caliber 120mm mortar and main cannon systems, turrets, and weapon stations. We achieve reduced Size Weight and Power (SWaP) by consolidating multiple functions such as 1553 data bus and Ethernet for message transfer / digital communications and net-centric computing. Defense Solutions' fire control processors stabilize the gunner's sight head and gun-turret, and are radiation-hardened to meet nuclear survivability requirements. Closed loop, deterministic control laws and application software are also available.
