Curtiss‑Wright Corporation announced on October 15, 2025 that it has been selected by American Rheinmetall to provide its Turret Drive Stabilization System (TDSS) for the prototype phase of the U.S. Army’s XM30 Combat Vehicle (CV) program, which has recently advanced to Milestone B, the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase.
The TDSS delivers stabilized turret system control, enabling accurate engagement of moving targets while the vehicle maneuvers across rugged terrain. The contract will see American Rheinmetall produce eight prototype XM30 vehicles for government testing ahead of a planned program down‑select in 2027. Curtiss‑Wright’s state‑of‑the‑art, modular TDSS is a field‑proven solution with units deployed worldwide, and its off‑the‑shelf architecture supports rapid customization and system integration.
This new contract strengthens Curtiss‑Wright’s Defense Electronics segment, adding a high‑margin, long‑term revenue stream and positioning the company for further growth in the U.S. Army’s next‑generation combat vehicle program. The win aligns with the company’s “Pivot to Growth” strategy, expanding its footprint in the defense market and providing a platform for future orders as the XM30 program progresses.
