Rockwell Collins to provide support for NextGen definition and implementation
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (July 08, 2010) - Rockwell Collins announced that it will play a key role on a team led by ITT Corporation to help develop advanced concepts
for the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) initiative to modernize
the U.S. national airspace system.
Rockwell Collins joins a number of other world-class members of the aviation industry on the team who will work together to
help meet the obligations of the FAA contract, titled System Engineering 2020 (SE2020).
Under SE2020, the team will conduct concept development work across all dimensions of air traffic control, including ground
systems, avionics, aircraft, air traffic control rules and procedures, human factors, safety and security, environmental and
standards.
"Rockwell Collins is aiming to help bring forth practical implementations of technology that will help facilitate the much
needed change to NextGen," said Kent Statler, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Commercial Systems for
Rockwell Collins.
The SE2020 program involves a series of task orders or study packages to help in this process, providing mission analysis,
research, development, prototyping and flight demonstration of solutions.
