Rockwell Collins signs CRADA with NAVAIR
Rockwell Collins has signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the US Navy's Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) for a Required Navigation Performance-Area Navigation (RNP-RNAV) flight management system.
The CRADA with NAVAIR's Air Combat Electronics Program Office will conclude with a demonstration of the RNP-RNAV technologies in autumn 2015. The system will align with the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) standard and use commercial technologies currently used in tactical and commercial aircraft.
Troy Brunk, vice president and general manager, airborne solutions, Rockwell Collins, said: 'Our proven and affordable RNP-RNAV FMS solution already enables multiple tactical aircraft types to safely interoperate within civil airspace.
'A version of the RNP-RNAV FMS aligned to the FACE technical standard allows tactical aircraft that support a FACE operating environment to easily integrate advanced navigation performance standards and meet current mandates.'
