Rockwell Collins provided AIN with more details of the avionics for the Brazilian KC-390 military transport. The avionics company believes that Embraer’s recent choice represents a strategic win, since it is the first military application of the Pro Line Fusion suite.

Pro Line Fusion is based on an integrated modular avionics architecture, built around common computing modules which host applications software for flight management and a variety of other functions. Since unveiling the system four years ago, Rockwell Collins has been selected for various upcoming business and regional jets as well as the Bombardier C Series narrowbody airliner.
