Australia looks towards space with force restructure, investment and training
Australia is looking to improve its presence in space with a focus on communications and creating a dedicated segment of its defence forces committed to the domain.
With the aim of supporting the US Army’s Modular Open RF Architecture (MORA), Curtiss-Wright will add MORA-compliant RF capabilities to its range of rugged embedded open architecture modules and small-form factor subsystems, the company announced on 12 October.
MORA is being developed by the army's Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC). RF systems compliant with this architecture standard can be implemented in the OpenVPX module and backplane open standard managed by the critical embedded system trade association, VITA.
The company will support MORA with compliant OpenVPX hardware and software solutions that provide enhanced C4ISR/EW capabilities and subsystem commonalities for ground vehicle fleets.
Lynn Bamford, senior vice president and general manager, defense solutions division, Curtiss-Wright, said: 'We are very excited to announce our new initiative to support the US Army’s MORA with a range of size, weight and power optimised open architecture subsystems. We believe that MORA provides a path for using true industry open standards to develop rugged COTS solutions to meet these critical requirements.'
