Curtiss-Wright providing turret drive stabilization technology for Romania’s ANUBIS 3.0 remote controlled weapons station

Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions Division has been selected by Pro Optica S.A. to provide its modular turret drive stabilization system (TDSS) technology in support of Romania’s next-generation ANUBIS 3.0 Remotely Controlled Weapon Station. Under the contract, Curtiss-Wright’s facility in Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Switzerland, will provide Pro Optica with a motion controller and gyroscopes developed for and used in its industry-leading high-precision, modular and pre-configured TDSS system architecture. The ANUBIS system is designed for observation and firing for terrestrial and aerial targets. Development began in 2022, and the production work, under the contract, began in December 2024. The first series of deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2025 and continue until the end of 2028. The initial contract is valued at $5 million.

"We're honored to collaborate with Pro Optica on the ANUBIS 3.0 program," says Brian Perry, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions Division. "Our turret drive stabilization technology will enhance the system's ability to accurately track and engage terrestrial and aerial targets. This agreement reflects our shared commitment to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions for mission-critical applications, and we look forward to supporting Pro Optica's success on this program, our first joint collaboration, and exploring new business opportunities together, both in Romania and around the globe."

Curtiss-Wright’s patented TDSS products deliver unmatched target location accuracy and turret stabilization, while providing system integrators with an unprecedented level of freedom to define and deploy the exact solution they require. It uniquely enables system designers to upgrade and add stabilization functionality as their mission requirements change. The TDSS’s use of standard system configurations speeds system development and enables programs to reach demonstration and production phases more rapidly. Using preconfigured TDSS system components also reduces the time and costs required to define system requirements.
