ASHBURN, Va. – Curtiss-Wright Corporation today announced that its Defense Solutions division has received a contract from Sierra Nevada Corporation to supply its COTS-based rugged Ethernet Switch and Router technology for use aboard Pilatus PC-12 Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) equipped aircraft under the Knight Ryder program. Under the agreement, Curtiss-Wright will provide Sierra Nevada Corporation with its Parvus DuraMAR® 5915 router and Parvus DuraNET® 3000 switch products. The initial contract is valued at approximately $530,000. Under the agreement, shipments began in July 2013 and are scheduled to continue until early 2014.

“We are pleased to have been selected by Sierra Nevada Corporation to provide our cost-effective, proven Cisco-based Ethernet Switch and Router technology for use in the important Knight Ryder program,” said Lynn Bamford, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Defense Solutions division. “The selection of our SWaP-optimized rugged subsystems will help deliver standardized ISR hardware configuration and operating software aboard small, payload-limited aircraft such as the Pilatus PC-12.”

The Curtiss-Wright router and switch products will contribute to an ISR suite used on Pilatus PC-12 aircraft, and will be used to communicate intelligence sensor and video data internal to the aircraft, as well as to ground forces and command and control centers.
