Collins Ramping Up Radar Build with Florida Expansion
New radar production area to be complete by year’s end
Collins Aerospace Condor MK3 cooperative secondary surveillance radar
Collins Aerospace Condor MK3 cooperative secondary surveillance radar is among the new units the RTX subsidiary is under contract to build for the FAA.

Collins Aerospace is investing $26.5 million to expand its facility in Largo, Florida, as it ramps up production of its commercial aviation radars to meet the FAA’s accelerated schedule. The expansion, which is estimated to generate more than 100 additional jobs across its engineering and factory operations at the location, will also provide additional capacity for the RTX unit’s multi-domain security products for defense customers.

“This expansion strengthens our ability to deliver critical capabilities that keep airline passengers safe and military operators mission-ready, faster,” said Nate Boelkins, president of avionics at Collins Aerospace. “RTX has made significant investments in its people and operations across Florida, and we value our partnership with the state as we continue to grow.”
