Open System Architecture -- Rockwell Collins created the industry's first open system architecture with multiple applications. That investment is paying off, as demonstrated with Rockwell Collins' upgrades for the U.S. Air Force KC-135 tanker. Adapted from commercial technology, the first installation was delivered on budget and ahead of schedule. Technology developments from the KC-135 program are being applied back to new commercial programs like the Boeing 7E7.

Built on a reliable architecture, the Rockwell Collins eTESTM in-flight entertainment (IFE) system offers airline passengers world class in-seat audio and video on demand, E-mail, Internet access, and interactive games. Coupled with the fully tested and universally accepted Microsoft WindowsTM software platform, it guarantees a stable architecture for continued new applications of IFE by offering the industry's fastest data network available while reducing total system volume, weight and power.

Rockwell Collins announced its first all-new avionics system in several years when it unveiled the Pro Line Fusion to be standard in the large cabin, very long-range Bombardier Global Express XRS and Global 5000. Fusion, as the name implies, combines the latest sensor technology with advanced displays that promise to add safety and minimize pilot workload.

A year ago Rockwell Collins bought a business that develops simulators for military and commercial piloting skills and she says this new acquisition "rounds out" that part of the business. "Simulators are used to train pilots, to train maintenance workers, to train crewmembers on the various systems onboard the aircraft," she says.
