The agreement, signed Nov 15 at the Dubai Airshow,
includes Rockwell Collins’ award winning
MultiScan™ Threat Detection System and the
GLU-925 Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR), the industry’s
first MMR certified for precision landing using
either Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)
or Instrument Landing Systems (ILS).
Emirates also selected the following sensors:
ADF-900 Automatic Direction Finder, DME-900 Distance
Measuring Equipment, HFS-900D High Speed Data
Radio, VHF-2100 Very High Frequency Transceiver,
CPL-920D Coupling Unit, and VOR-900 VHF Omnidirectional
Radio.
“This important win signifies the strength
of the long-standing, trusted relationship we
have with one of the most respected airlines in
the world,” said Claude Alber, vice president
and managing director of Europe, the Middle East
and Africa (EuMEA) for Rockwell Collins. “We
commend Emirates for selecting the most advanced
communication, navigation and surveillance systems
available which will make for a smoother and safer
travel experience.”
Rockwell Collins’ industry-leading WXR-2100
MultiScan™ Threat Detection System with more
than 4,100 systems flying on over 145 airlines
today, provides superior weather assessment that
helps pilots easily discern between threatening
and non-threatening weather. It also alerts them
to other atmospheric threats that may be invisible
to the naked eye - such as the potential for turbulence,
lightning or hail - all presented through an optimized,
clutter-free display that increases crew situational
awareness while reducing pilot workload.
The advanced GLU-925 Multi-Mode Receiver is the
primary navigation sensor for all phases of flight,
and meets the stringent Required Navigation Performance
(RNP) requirement of 0.1 n.m. As the first-ever
certified GPS Landing System receiver, the Rockwell
Collins GLU-925 offers rock-solid performance
and dependability for Category III ILS and Performance-Based
Navigation RNAV/RNP operations.
Rockwell Collins is a pioneer in the development
and deployment of innovative communication and
aviation electronic solutions for both commercial
and government applications. It has expertise
in flight deck avionics, cabin electronics, mission
communications, information management, and simulation
and training is delivered by 20,000 employees,
and a global service and support network that
crosses 27 countries.
