Charlotte, N.C., November 10, 2005 – Curtiss-Wright Controls Inc. has received an order from the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) – Lakehurst, N.J., exercising its fiscal year 2005 option for one additional Recovery Assist Secure and Traverse (RAST) aircraft handling systems for the DDG-51 Flight IIA program.

RAST is a helicopter handling system which fully integrates all of the functions required to safely operate and stow large ship-borne helicopters. In addition to enabling safe launch and recovery, RAST facilitates the securing, maneuvering and hangaring of helicopters, day or night, even in adverse weather and sea conditions up to sea state five.

“Curtiss-Wright Controls is extremely pleased to continue our long standing partnership with the United States Navy,” said David Adams, president of Curtiss-Wright Controls. “The RAST system was originally developed by Indal Technologies, a company Curtiss-Wright acquired in March of this year. The RAST system provides superior capabilities and the best value to our customers.”

In 2001, Indal Technologies, Inc. was awarded a six-year contract with options from the U.S. Navy for up to 18 RAST systems. Curtiss-Wright acquired Indal Technologies in March 2005 and it now operates within the Curtiss-Wright Controls Engineered Systems group of businesses. To date, 11 RAST systems have been ordered under the original contract. Work for this contract will be performed at the Curtiss-Wright Controls facility in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

The systems being delivered for these ships will incorporate the latest in advanced electronic controls technology. More than 200 shipsets of RAST and RAST-type systems have been delivered to navies around the world, including those of Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan, Spain, Taiwan and the U.S.
