Curtiss-Wright Corporation (CW)

Naval, defense and aerospace components maker. Read October 19, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 12, 2026. Ranked 104 of the 198 Industrials companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

An engineered products maker whose filing states 9,100 employees in more than 20 countries and nothing by segment, so its three segments are read at machinery, instruments and aerospace parts by segment revenue.

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 18% now, 34% at the end of 2027, 42% at the end of 2028, 45% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 46% desk work, 16% people work and 39% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 53% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 38% becomes checking a model's work and 5% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

What the filing says about AI

6 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing says it does not currently use artificial intelligence in the design and development of its products but may seek to in the future, and names AI as a source of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and of risks in development and deployment.

• “To the extent artificial intelligence capabilities improve and are increasingly adopted, they may be used to identify vulnerabilities and produce advanced cybersecurity attacks, and vulnerabilities may be introduced from the use of artificial intelligence by us, our customers, suppliers and other business partners and third-party providers.”
• “Furthermore, while we do not currently use artificial intelligence ("AI") in the design and development of our products, we may seek to utilize AI in the future.”
• “The development, deployment, and integration of AI technologies presents risks, challenges, and potential unintended consequences that could affect our business.”
• “Given that laws and regulations around AI are continuously evolving, our obligation to comply with them could entail significant costs, negatively affect our business, or hinder our ability to incorporate certain AI capabilities into our operations and products.”
• “There are a number of global forces driving a resurgence in nuclear power, as it continues to become more widely accepted as a critical source to meet rising future energy demand and decarbonization commitments through the creation of clean, reliable, and affordable energy, and more recently through its potential to meet surging data-center power demand driven by AI.”
