Curtiss-Wright has won a contract from Sierra Nevada (SNC) to supply its small form factor rugged commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Tactical Mission Computer technology for use in the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) ANKA Medium-Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Air System (UAS).

Under the agreement, Curtiss-Wright provides SNC with its Parvus DuraCOR(r) small form factor mission computer, which provides processing capabilities for the ANKA aircraft's Automatic Take Off and Landing System (ATOLS), the company announced Monday.
