Rockwell Collins Inks Series of Retrofit Deals

Rockwell Collins has signed a series of contracts to supply the Bristow Group, SunExpress Airlines and Iberia Airlines with various avionics equipment. This includes TCAS for Bristow’s 44 Sikorsky helicopters and a package to allow the airline customers to comply with Eurocontrol’s Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) requirement.

So far Rockwell Collins (Chalet B19, Hall 2B D108) has equipped 24 Bristow helicopters with its TTR-4000 TCAS II system. Over the next year Rockwell Collins expects to install on the rest of the Bristow Sikorsky fleet the next-generation TTR-4100, which adds traffic computer capability and enables ADS-B IN functionality.
