Boeing has selected Curtiss-Wright to deliver modular mission computing technology for the C-17 transport aircraft as part of a broader fleet modernization effort. The open-architecture design enhances processing power while maintaining adaptability for future mission requirements. The C-17, introduced in the 1990s, transports heavy cargo and personnel globally and is powered by four turbofan engines. By adopting MOSA-aligned systems, the Air Force seeks to extend operational lifespan and ensure compatibility with evolving digital standards. Executives emphasized that the upgrade underpins the aircraft’s continued role in worldwide logistics missions.
