Network Centric Flight Control Computer

Curtiss Wright Controls Defense Solutions' rugged, conduction-cooled, network centric flight control and management computer is designed to operate in a rugged UAV environment and provides a total flight control solution backed by substantial technical maturity and heritage. The flexible and open architecture of this computer provides a future-proof and scalable platform to execute vehicle-tailored flight control law algorithms on Wind River VxWorks 6.x or ARINC 653 BSP. Curtiss-Wright Controls' system solution is fully qualified to perform in rugged deployed environments.

The Integrated Mission Management Computer (IMMC) incorporates highly integrated I/O capability that interfaces with UAV’s flight critical sub-systems (temperature & pressure sensors, engine, fuel system, altimeter, power, bay doors, air speed sensors and ice detector) and closes control loop with a plethora of interfaces -- weapons coordination, radar, communications, GPS navigation, brakes, telemetry, anti-jam module, crash recorder, fuel management systems. IMMC’s high performance processing elements execute elaborate flight control law algorithms and provide controls for redundant architecture implementation.
