We collaborate with our customers to develop products with an increased technical readiness level, reduced program risk, and lower development cost. While many military applications can benefit from COTS or mCOTS linear and rotary actuators, Exlar’s Ground and Naval Defense business segment also offers engineering services to support defense customers in the adaption of electric technologies.

The Curtiss-Wright Ground and Naval Defense (GaND) business segment collaborated with NAVSEA to provide the Naval Systems Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) with a state-of-the-art Small Linear Actuator Test Stand (SLATS). The relationship yielded a one-of-a-kind product to verify performance characteristics of small linear actuators against a known load. The initial data from the test stand is helping to understand the similarities and differences between electromechanical and electrohydraulic actuators. To read more, click here.
