Rockwell Collins to upgrade KC-10

August 01-15, 2011

The US Air Force has awarded Rockwell Collins a contract to provide systems integration and avionics for the KC-10 communication, navigation, surveillance/air traffic management (CNS/ATM) cockpit modernisation programme.

The contract, valued at more than $160 million over the life of the programme, calls for Rockwell Collins to provide the flight management system, displays, data link communications and surveillance capabilities.

“This programme provides technology that ensures the KC-10 meets current and future CNS/ATM requirements, allowing it to operate in commercial airspace throughout the world,” said Dave Nieuwsma, Vice President and General Manager of Mobility and Rotary Wing Solutions for Rockwell Collins. “These new capabilities will allow the aircraft to arrive at its destination quicker, enhancing mission effectiveness while saving fuel.”
