Rockwell Collins Next-gen Avionics Solutions for India’s Military Aviation

As a leader in avionics products and systems, Rockwell Collins is strongly positioned to provide India civil and military operators with a host of new and upgraded avionics for a wide assortment of fixed wing aircraft and helicopter applications, as well as the rapidly growing market for “smarter” unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The needs for enhanced situational awareness, interoperability, reduced crew workload and enhanced levels of flight safety for India’s defence forces are constantly increasing.

Today, thousands of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft around the world are flying with Rockwell Collins avionics products. Our components and systems are helping these crews fly better and safer missions. And, whether it’s a new installation or a retrofit program, each of our products is backed by our unmatched global product support and training network.

Rockwell Collins’ Athena integrated flight control and navigation systems for UAVs are miniaturized, lightweight and highly reliable. They provide control for INS, GPS and air data, attitude, heading and reference. Available in lowcost, redundant configurations, these systems enable autonomous operations and are proven with more than 1 million flight hours in combat theaters. Used on both manned and unmanned aircraft, these systems are moving toward obtaining commercial certification.

Next-generation avionics for new and retrofit applications

While we are gaining a leadership role in UAV avionics and systems, our foundation is strongly set in our business, commercial and military avionics solutions. Our unique approach and open system architecture enable our avionics to be used across many platforms, providing commonality and cost savings to our customers.

For example, our new-generation Pro Line Fusion integrated avionics system offers customers the opportunity to leverage the best in commercial and business aviation technology for military aircraft applications. Pro Line Fusion is now being featured on multiple business aircraft as well as the Brazilian Air Force’s KC-390 and the AW 609 tilt rotor.

Pro Line Fusion’s architectural flexibility enables a versatile, role-adaptable aircraft to serve both military and commercial customers.
