Owl Cyber Defense & Curtiss-Wright Announce Successful Integration of CDFMV Video Cross Domain Solution on Rugged PacStar Servers
June 26 2024 - 8:30AM
Owl Cyber Defense Solutions (“Owl”), the global market leader in
trusted cross domain data transfer for critical networks, and
Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions Division (“Curtiss-Wright”), the
trusted, proven leader in communications and processing systems for
the tactical edge, today announced the successful integration of
Owl’s U.S. Government-approved CDFMV video cross domain solution
and Curtiss-Wright’s PacStar® 454 GPU-enhanced rugged, small
form-factor server. This groundbreaking combination has the
potential to significantly enhance the voice and video ISR
capabilities of U.S. tactical operations, providing low-SWaP,
secure, and reliable full-motion video transfer in the most
demanding environments.
Key features of the integrated solution include:
- RTB-Compliant Video Filtering: CDFMV processes and filters
video data frame-by-frame, ensuring mission integrity and
mitigating threats such as embedded steganography.
- Compact, Efficient, Power: The PacStar 454’s low size, weight,
and power requirements make it ideal for deployment in challenging
and mobile environments.
- Robust Performance: Despite its compact form factor, the
PacStar 454 offers powerful processing capabilities to enable
CDFMV’s inspection and filtering on multiple simultaneous video
streams.
During the Cross Domain Technical Forum, June 25-26, 2024, in
Laurel, MD, for which Owl is the featured event sponsor, a live
demonstration of the integrated joint Owl/Curtiss-Wright solution
will be presented in the Owl booth, featured in the lobby of the
Kossiakoff Conference and Education Center at the John’s Hopkins
University Applied Physics Lab. For more information or to schedule
a demonstration, please contact Owl at

The integrated solution leverages the power of Owl’s CDFMV cross
domain solution software to provide real-time, high-definition
video streaming with unmatched security and data filtering. CDFMV
is the only full-motion video (FMV) transfer cross domain solution
with RTB-compliant filtering approved for deployment in the U.S.
DOD and Intelligence Community (IC), supporting multiple
simultaneous HD video streams & KLV metadata.
“Integrating CDFMV with the Curtiss-Wright PacStar servers marks
a significant milestone in our joint commitment to developing the
next generation of flexible, accredited cross domain solution
technology for tactical defense applications,” said Scott Orton,
CEO of Owl. “The combined solution holds the promise to facilitate
faster intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance from the
tactical edge to strategic command centers, coalition partners, and
forward deployed cooperative systems.”
Complementing CDFMV is the Curtiss-Wright PacStar 454, a
high-performance virtualization and compute platform for hosting
intensive applications like graphics, video processing, and AI in a
compact, quick setup, rugged form factor. This tactical server
boasts a minimal footprint, making it ideal for mobile operations
and installations where space and power are at a premium. Despite
its small size, it delivers robust processing power, ensuring
seamless operation and real-time data processing capabilities.
“We’re very excited to be offering the Owl V2CDS on our PacStar
453 and 454 servers that include built-in GPU acceleration,” said
Brian Perry, Senior Vice President and General Manager,
Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions Division. “V2CDS is the leading
solution for comprehensive information sharing across security
domains while maintaining the important contextual communication
offered in voice and video communication. Together, this solution
allows for rapid dissemination of information from data sources to
inform C2 operations from HQ to the edge.”
In addition, the two companies have tested and verified the
cross domain voice, video, and structured data capabilities of Owl
V2CDS solution on the PacStar 453 small form-factor server, as well
as integration with Owl data diodes, including XD Verge
protocol-filtering diodes (PFD) for use in high-threat network
cross domain connections. The PacStar 453 is similar in size and
function to the PacStar 454 with lower-scale, lower-SWaP
performance.
