Curtiss-Wright announced it has been selected by Rheinmetall Landsysteme Germany (RLS) to provide its modular turret drive stabilization system (TDSS) technology in support of the KF51 Panther Main Battle Tank (MBT). The KF51, a highly advanced and capable main battle tank, is designed to meet the demands of modern warfare. Curtiss-Wright’s highly precise, modular TDSS system is an ideal match for these newly modernized platform requirements. Work under this agreement will be performed by Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions.
"We are very proud that our ability to deliver end-users with the highest level of technology, service, reliability and quality resulted in our selection by Rheinmetall to support the new KF51 Panther Main Battle Tank,” said Brian Perry, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions. “This contract builds on Curtiss-Wright’s long track record as a supplier of cost-effective and high-precision modular aiming and stabilization systems.”
Under the contract, Curtiss-Wright’s facility, located in Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Switzerland, will provide Rheinmetall with its state-of-the-art modular TDSS and associated hand controllers. This next-generation MBT features a flexible “future-proof” assembly design that uses multiple drives for one axis, enabling the TDSS to deliver superior flexibility for space claim design and weight distribution. Work under the contract began in December 2024.
