Our Values (https://www.curtisswright.com/company/sustainability/core-values/default.aspx)

Environmental, Social and Governance

Curtiss-Wright's Defense Solution division is a trusted, proven leader, delivering superior products and services that meet the defense and aerospace industries' toughest challenges with best-in-class value.

The state-of-the-art facility has extensive design and manufacturing capabilities as well as in-house environmental stress screening. The facility is committed to quality and excellence in manufacturing for our flight recorder, air data computer, video management systems, computing systems, mission displays and video recorder products. As the design center of excellence for flight recorders and air data computers, the units had to be lightweight and small -- crash survivability requirements exceeding the existing standards for commercial aircraft.
