Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc. today announced that it received a contract from Raytheon to provide rugged single board computers (SBC), digital signal processors (DSP) and buffer memory cards for use in the Centurion Weapon System that Raytheon supplies to the US Army.

"We are proud to have been selected by Raytheon to provide our rugged high performance computing and digital signal processing modules for use in the US Army's critical Centurion Weapon System," said David Adams, co-chief operating officer of Curtiss-Wright Corporation
Curtiss-Wright will develop the SBCs at its San Diego, CA facility. The DSP boards are developed at the company's Ashburn, VA facility, and the buffer memory modules are developed at its Chatsworth, CA location. The systems will be shipped to Raytheon in Louisville, KY.
