Curtiss-Wright To Speed AI Innovation With NVIDIA Software And Hardware

DAVIDSON, N.C. – March 19, 2025 – Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) today announced an agreement for access and use of NVIDIA AI software and GPU hardware to accelerate the development of advanced processing and communications systems for rugged applications at the extreme edge. Under the agreement, Curtiss-Wright, a NVIDIA OEM Partner for Embedded Compute, Computing, Networking & NVIDIA AI, gains access to NVIDIA’s extensive portfolio of AI and generative AI software as well as its GPU platforms and frameworks. The agreement will speed Curtiss-Wright’s ability to apply advanced AI technologies across its portfolio of capabilities.

“We are pleased to partner with NVIDIA, furthering our commitment to collaborate with the industry’s leading technology companies to bring the most advanced processing capabilities to our open standards based embedded computing solutions," said Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. “This agreement will enable our customers to harness the power of NVIDIA’s GPU devices, and artificial intelligence and machine learning software ecosystem, to drive emerging capabilities and support new classes of compute intensive applications.”

“Curtiss-Wright’s core competency is the ability to rapidly embed the latest commercial technology into rugged form factors designed to perform in the harshest environments," said Brian Perry, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Curtiss-Wright. “NVIDIA’s AI platform leads the industry in driving the innovation that solves difficult challenges, and this new OEM Partnership reinforces Curtiss-Wright’s ability to meet the growing demand for higher performance, advanced processing solutions across our customer base.”

Curtiss-Wright sees tremendous potential for highly compute-intensive applications to harness the capabilities of NVIDIA’s higher performance compute optimized and multi-workload optimized solutions for extensive software applications. This new agreement will enable Curtiss-Wright’s customers to rapidly develop leading-edge applications. To fully harness NVIDIA’s data center class of products, Curtiss-Wright will use its industry-leading electronics thermal management expertise, making it possible for advanced processing and communications solutions to operate in harsh, extended temperature environments. This effort will leverage the use of open standards-based embedded solutions that use a range of proven module and chassis level cooling technologies, such as conduction, forced air, AFT (air flow through), LFT (liquid flow through), FFT (fluid flow through), and spray cooling.

In collaboration with NVIDIA, Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions Division is sponsoring the “AI at the Tactical Edge: NVRadar and Accelerated Sensor Processing” panel discussion at NVIDIA’s 2025 GTC conference. The 90-minute invitation-only event will be held on Wednesday, March 19, 2025.
