Curtiss‑Wright Corporation announced a new contract with The Boeing Company to supply mission‑computer technology for the U.S. Air Force’s C‑17 Globemaster III Flight Deck Obsolescence and Technology Refresh program. The agreement, valued at more than $400 million over its lifetime, will integrate rugged, MOSA‑aligned computing systems into the existing C‑17 fleet, extending the aircraft’s operational life and modernizing its cockpit controls.
The contract is part of Boeing’s broader effort to replace key flight‑deck components—including the Multifunction Display, Standby Engine Display, Core Integrated Processor, and Video Integrated Processor—under a $265 million SAM.gov award issued in December 2025. Curtiss‑Wright’s Defense Electronics segment will deliver the new mission computers, which are designed to evolve with future mission needs and to meet the Department of Defense’s Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) standards for interoperability and cost‑effectiveness.
This win adds significant revenue to Curtiss‑Wright’s defense‑electronics portfolio, which generated $227 million in sales in Q4 2024 and $211.7 million in Q3 2024. The $400 million contract represents a substantial portion of the company’s annual sales and will provide a steady stream of revenue over the coming years, reinforcing the company’s “Pivot to Growth” strategy and its focus on high‑margin, long‑term defense contracts.
CEO Lynn M. Bamford said, “We are honored to partner with Boeing on this critical modernization initiative. By delivering rugged, modular mission‑computing technology, we are supporting the long‑term readiness of the C‑17, a platform essential to global logistics and mobility operations.” The statement underscores the strategic importance of the contract and the company’s commitment to MOSA‑aligned solutions.
The contract’s timing and value position Curtiss‑Wright to capture a larger share of the U.S. Air Force’s modernization spend, while also strengthening its competitive edge against other defense‑electronics suppliers. The deal aligns with the Department of Defense’s push for open‑systems architecture and is expected to drive future opportunities in other aircraft modernization programs.
