Since its 1933 founding as Collins Radio, Rockwell Collins and its products have been recognized for distinctive quality and state-of-the-art technology. Founder Arthur Collins initially designed and produced short-wave radio equipment that captured the world’s attention when Collins supplied the communications equipment used to establish a link with the South Pole expedition of Rear Admiral Richard Byrd in 1933. During the next three decades, acquisitions and alliances enabled Rockwell Collins to branch out into all phases of communications while broadening its technology thrust into numerous other disciplines. Collins Radio played a significant role in America’s space program, providing communications equipment for astronauts to communicate with earth stations and equipment to track and communicate with spacecraft. Collins communication equipment was used for the Apollo, Gemini, and Mercury programs, providing voice communication for every American astronaut traveling through space. In 1973, the U.S. Skylab Program used Collins equipment for the astronauts to communicate to earth.

Santa Barbara, CA. August 1, 2002 -- Green Hills Software today announced that Rockwell Collins has integrated the INTEGRITY®-178B real-time operating system (RTOS) into the Sikorsky S-92 helicopter's new highly-integrated avionics package. INTEGRITY-178B, along with Green Hills Software's GSTART Ada run-time environment, is being used in Rockwell Collins new Avionics Management and Display System, which incorporates the most advanced avionics technology available today for rotorcraft. Rockwell Collins successfully completed its first S-92 test flight of the system on October 5, 2001 and has accumulated over 300 hours of company flight tests to date. The new S-92 cockpit is designed for outstanding visibility and is equipped with a highly-integrated avionics package which provides the core of an open architecture avionics suite for processing aircraft system information. Flight data is shown on four Collins multi-function displays, with a fifth display offered as an option.
