CCC is pleased to announce that it was awarded a 4-year contract by the United States Department of Defense (U.S. DoD) to supply the U.S. Naval Air Warfare Centre with Recover Assist Securing and Traversing (RAST) systems. Under the contract, Curtiss-Wright’s Mississauga, Ontario, facility, part of Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Systems, will manufacture the systems and provide technical field support to the U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center.
RAST is a fully integrated shipboard system to support shipborne helicopter operations. It enables safe and efficient shipboard helicopter operations, even in challenging sea conditions. Using a Rapid Securing Device, RAST stabilizes, secures, and navigates helicopters without disconnecting. The system guides helicopters during landing, locks them in place upon touchdown, and moves them into the hangar. RAST has been adopted by navies worldwide and integrates advanced electronics and lightweight components.
Curtiss-Wright is a leading manufacturer of naval helicopter handling systems, undersea sensor handling and deployment systems, and ship aviation support systems for major naval defense programs. Curtiss-Wright has secured contracts globally, supporting navies in the United States, Canada, Japan, Italy, Australia, Chile, India, Singapore, Spain, and Turkey.
As Canada’s foreign military sales agency, CCC is funded by the Government of Canada to enable companies like Curtiss-Wright to deliver made-in-Canada solutions to the U.S. Navy and other entities within the U.S. Department of Defense. To date, CCC and Curtiss-Wright have partnered on numerous contracts with the U.S. military worth over CAD$300 million.
