Curtiss-Wright Controls today announced that its 3D-Radar business unit located in Trondheim, Norway, has been named the 'Fastest growing company in Norway' by the country's leading business journal, Dagens Naeringsliv. 3D-Radar, a global innovator in the development and use of ground penetrating radar (GPR) to identify buried threats, was named the highest ranked 'Gazelle' company at an awards ceremony in Oslo, Norway. 3D-Radar's status as fastest growing company was determined by a jury of financial analysts, economists and journalists who reviewed the performance of 2,500 companies during the period between 2006 and 2009.
"Curtiss-Wright's 3D-Radar business unit is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art ground penetrating radar technology that enables improved response time to threats and critical protection for military personnel," said David Adams, co-chief operating officer of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "We are extremely proud of the performance and continued growth potential of 3D-Radar."
"We are very proud to have been recognised for our achievements by this wonderful award, especially considering that we were ranked the fastest growing company out of a qualified field of over 2,500 companies," said Dr. Egil Eide, founder and managing director of 3D-Radar. "Our growth and success to date has exceeded my expectations and it shows that the focus we have had since the company's inception continues to pay off.
"3d-Radar, backed by the global strength of Curtiss-Wright, will continue to strive for growth," added Dr. Eide. "We are well positioned to capitalise on our continued successes."
Curtiss-Wright's motion control segment provides an industry leading embedded computing technology for military applications, including 3D-Radar's innovative GeoScope GPR processing solution, which enables operators to view pre-processed GPR data within milliseconds of the initial capture. This advanced non-destructive technology generates high-resolution three-dimensional images of buried objects and natural interface layers, ideal for the identification of unexploded ordnance. Curtiss-Wright's GPR uses step-frequency radar technology to create detailed images of subsurface objects. In addition to detecting objects, the reflected radar response can also detect variations in subsurface structures.
Curtiss-Wright has supplied GPR technology to nations in Europe, North America and Asia for use in military threat detection systems, including delivery to the US Army for use in overseas operations.
