Insights

The $27 million contract with potential expansion to $100 million for ASIST systems represents a strategic win in the naval defense sector. The Constellation Class Frigate program is a important part of the U.S. Navy's fleet modernization, with plans for 20 ships. ASIST's advanced helicopter handling capabilities are essential for modern naval operations, particularly in challenging maritime conditions.

The contract strengthens Curtiss-Wright's position in the naval systems market, building on their established relationships with multiple international navies. The IDIQ structure provides revenue visibility and potential for additional orders over the five-year period. Based on similar programs, the per-ship value suggests this contract could cover systems for approximately 4-6 frigates initially.

The ASIST system represents cutting-edge helicopter handling technology, utilizing advanced position sensing and automated tracking systems that significantly enhance operational safety. The system's ability to facilitate landings with minimal human interaction in extreme conditions is a critical technological advantage for naval operations.

For investors, the key technical differentiator is the precision Helicopter Position Sensing Equipment system, which gives Curtiss-Wright a competitive moat in this specialized market. The company's track record with eight different national navies validates the technology's reliability and market acceptance. Think of ASIST as an automated air traffic controller specifically designed for ship-helicopter operations - it's that critical for naval aviation safety.

This contract is particularly noteworthy given Curtiss-Wright's $13.9 billion market cap. While the initial $27 million represents only about 0.2% of market cap, the potential $100 million IDIQ value and broader implications for future naval programs make this strategically significant. The company's expanding presence in naval systems, demonstrated by contracts with multiple national navies, suggests strong growth potential in this sector.

The timing aligns well with increasing global naval modernization efforts, particularly in Indo-Pacific regions. For retail investors, this contract reinforces Curtiss-Wright's position as a stable defense contractor with high-value, specialized products and long-term government relationships.

DAVIDSON, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) today announced that it has received a $27 million contract award from the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) for the supply of Aircraft Ship Integrated Securing and Traversing (ASIST) systems. Under the agreement, Curtiss-Wright’s facility based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada will provide its critical aircraft handling systems and support to the U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center for use on Constellation Class Frigates (FFG-62). The recent award is part of a five-year indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, potentially valued at nearly $100 million.

“We are pleased to have been selected by CCC to continue to provide our experience and expertise as a leading supplier of integrated shipboard helicopter handling systems operating at extreme seas conditions,” said Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. “This award reflects our commitment to provide the most advanced and reliable aircraft handling systems to support the safe landing and traversing of Naval manned aircraft for the U.S. Navy and allied forces.”

“Canadian expertise in helicopter landing systems is at the forefront of aviation safety and innovation. The success of Curtiss-Wright’s technologies reinforces Canada’s position as a global leader in this critical area of aerospace technology,” said Diane Montambault, Vice President of Contract Management and Operations, CCC.

Curtiss-Wright is a leading manufacturer of naval helicopter handling systems, undersea sensor handling, and ship aviation support systems for large and complex naval defense programs, and has secured contracts globally supporting navies in Australia, Canada, Chile, India, Singapore, Spain, Turkey and the United States.

Curtiss-Wright’s ASIST system is a proven free-deck landing system that enables helicopter landings to be made with limited human interaction in extreme sea environments. During descent, ASIST's precision Helicopter Position Sensing Equipment system continuously tracks and monitors the exact position of the aircraft, relative to the designated landing area and displays it to the pilot through a series of visual landing cues. In addition to supplying the U.S. Navy with the ASIST system, Curtiss-Wright and CCC have partnered on numerous contracts with the U.S. military over the past 40 years for hardware components, equipment, and systems including the RAST (Recovery Assist, Secure and Traverse) shipboard system for helicopters.

Curtiss-Wright is performing the work within its EMS division within the Naval & Power segment. For more information on Curtiss-Wright naval aircraft handling systems, please visit https://www.cw-ems.com/indal/.
