DAVIDSON, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) today announced that it has been awarded contracts by Leidos valued at approximately $40 million to support the production of the U.S. Army’s Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 (IFPC Inc 2) system. Under the agreement, Curtiss-Wright will provide electromechanical actuation technology along with rugged, small form factor mission computers for mobile ground-based air defense systems.

“Curtiss-Wright is proud to continue its partnership with Leidos by providing our industry-leading electromechanical actuation and rugged defense computing technology in support of the U.S. Army’s IFPC program,” said Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. “These contracts build upon Curtiss-Wright’s track record as a supplier of high-precision, high-torque actuators and cost-effective mission computing solutions that can meet the military’s growing need for efficiency, improved size and weight, and increased power.”

IFPC Inc 2 is a ground-based air defense system designed to provide air-defense launching capability against rapidly evolving threats by acquiring, tracking, engaging and defeating cruise missiles, rockets and unmanned aircraft systems, and is expected to support Indo-Pacific operations for the Defense of Guam. Curtiss-Wright is performing the work within its Aerospace & Industrial and Defense Electronics segments.

Curtiss-Wright’s electromechanical actuators incorporate the Company’s commercial roller screw and motor technologies modified to meet the U.S. Army’s rigorous environmental and performance criteria by offering clean, fast and accurate control over a wide range of force, speed, and positioning. The technology has wide applications across Aerospace & Defense (A&D) and industrial markets.

Key Terms

electromechanical actuation technical

A system that converts electrical signals into physical motion to move or control parts—using motors, solenoids or similar components—so a device can push, pull, rotate or position something without human hands. Think of it like the small motor in a remote-control toy that turns the wheels. For investors, electromechanical actuation matters because it drives product performance, energy use, reliability and manufacturing cost, all of which affect revenue potential and long-term competitiveness.

small form factor technical

A small form factor describes a product's compact physical design and reduced size compared with standard versions, often achieved by shrinking components, simplifying layouts, or using space-saving technology. For investors, it matters because smaller designs can open new markets, lower shipping and storage costs, change manufacturing complexity, and affect product appeal—similar to how a compact suitcase fits more travel situations than a large trunk.

roller screw technical

A roller screw is a high-precision mechanical device that converts rotational motion into linear motion using rows of hardened rollers that roll between a threaded shaft and a nut, similar to how a ball screw uses balls but with rollers for heavier loads and longer life. Investors care because roller screws are components in industrial machinery, robotics, and aerospace equipment where durability, accuracy and maintenance costs affect product performance, capital spending and long-term revenue for manufacturers and suppliers.

SWaP technical

A swap is a private contract where two parties agree to exchange streams of payments over time, often tied to interest rates, currencies, or commodity prices. Investors and companies use swaps to change the type of risk they face—like switching a variable-rate loan into a fixed one—so they can stabilize cash flow or gain exposure without buying or selling the underlying asset; think of it as trading the terms of future bills with another party.
