Curtiss-Wright’s Nuclear Division and Cyberhawk Inc., a subsidiary of Cyberhawk Ltd, have agreed to provide the North American nuclear power market with visual asset management using UAS. 

Under the agreement, Curtiss-Wright will market and deliver Cyberhawk’s services to customers that need their critical assets to undergo visual inspections.

“This agreement is an important step in the achievement of our strategic plan to transform plant processes by increasing our portfolio of products and services through partner relationships and while continuing to deliver value to our customers,” says Brian Dassatti, general manager of Curtiss-Wright’s Outage and Fuel Management Solutions group.

“We are extremely excited to enter the nuclear market with a UAS service offering to advance our customers’ inspection needs.”

Cyberhawk uses UAS and software to digitalizes clients’ assets and help them make informed decisions. Some of the company’s services include site visualization and surveying; close visual and thermal inspections; and detailed digital inspection reports via iHawk, the company’s cloud-based visual asset management software.

Cyberhawk has experience in the nuclear market, having performed inspections at several North American sites including the Cook Nuclear Plant. Using UAS, its teams have completed ASME code-compliant inspections, and in the process, provided significant cost savings while greatly reducing safety risks and interruptions to operations.

The UAS can be used in a variety of settings, including inside and outside of containment structures, buildings, cooling towers, tanks, security perimeters, and other critical assets that need periodic inspection.

“The agreement with Curtiss-Wright is another great achievement for the Cyberhawk brand and continues our on-going success within the nuclear market,” says Cyberhawk’s Chief Executive Officer Chris Fleming.

“We strive to lead the global market in end-to-end visual data management and will provide the same high-quality service for Curtiss-Wright as we do across our estate of world-class customers.”
