Curtiss-Wright has been awarded a potential $75 million contract to provide engineering services and hatch control actuators for installation on the U.S. Army’s Multi-Mission Launcher under the Indirect Fire Protection Capability initiative.
The service branch’s MML program is an open system architecture-based aerial defense launcher designed to deploy various interceptors against cruise missile and unmanned threats, Curtiss-Wright said Tuesday.
The company will modify the actuators based on its Exlar platform for electromechanical actuators and specifications of the Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center for open systems architecture.
Curtiss-Wright’s Sensors & Controls division will carry out work at its Chanhassen, Minnesota-based facility.
