Military Avionics, Communications and Mission Management Systems

Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, develops technologies that help military platforms operate more effectively, safely and in a coordinated manner.

The company’s portfolio includes military avionics, communication systems, navigation solutions, mission management platforms, sensors and technologies for integrating a wide range of military systems. Collins Aerospace solutions are used across combat aircraft, helicopters, transport aviation, ground platforms and joint military operations.

Why Collins Aerospace?

Proven Defence Technologies

Collins Aerospace has been involved in military aviation and defence programmes around the world for decades.

One Military Aviation Ecosystem

Collins Aerospace develops technologies that connect different platforms — including aircraft, helicopters, military vehicles and unmanned systems — within a unified information environment.

Secure Communications

Its communication systems enable the secure exchange of voice, video and data across complex and constantly evolving operational environments.

Precision Navigation

Military GPS and navigation systems are designed to provide accurate positioning and navigation across air, land and maritime platforms.

Modular Technologies

Open-architecture solutions make it possible to progressively integrate new sensors, software and equipment into existing systems.

Long-Term Modernisation

Collins Aerospace supports not only the development of new systems but also the modernisation of avionics and mission systems across existing military platforms.

Military Avionics

Operating a military aircraft involves far more than flying. The crew must simultaneously manage navigation, communications, flight data, sensor information and mission operations.

Collins Aerospace avionics systems bring these functions together within an integrated environment. The portfolio includes flight displays, control panels, integrated cockpit systems, autopilots, weather radars and multifunction avionics platforms used across military aircraft and helicopters.

Military Communication Systems

For modern defence forces, communication is no longer limited to voice communication via radio. Fast and secure exchange of voice, video and data between different units is essential.

Collins Aerospace develops airborne, ground-based and multi-platform communication systems, including software-defined radios and HF, VHF, UHF and satellite communication solutions. These technologies enable military platforms and command centres to remain connected.

Tactical Data Exchange

During military operations, it is essential for different platforms to receive information about one another in real time — including the location of friendly forces, detected targets and information received by other units.

Collins Aerospace-ის Tactical Data Links Collins Aerospace Tactical Data Links are designed to enable precisely this exchange of information. They provide secure data connectivity between air, land and maritime platforms and support the creation of a common operational picture.

Software-Defined Radios

One of the company’s key areas of expertise is software-defined radio technology, which provides the flexibility to adapt to different frequencies and operating modes.

Collins Aerospace-ის TruNet™ communications family from Collins Aerospace combines ground and airborne radios, network software and data exchange capabilities. Its purpose is to provide secure and continuous connectivity between different military forces.

Such systems are particularly important when ground units, helicopters, aircraft and unmanned platforms are operating simultaneously.

Military Navigation and GPS Systems

Accurate positioning and navigation are among the fundamental requirements of modern military operations.

Collins Aerospace develops military GPS receivers, antennas and navigation systems used across aircraft, military vehicles, maritime platforms and individual portable devices.

The portfolio includes both conventional GPS technologies and more resilient solutions designed to improve navigation reliability in challenging electromagnetic environments, including environments affected by signal interference.

Mission Computers and Onboard Data Management

Modern military platforms operate multiple sensors, cameras, radars and communication systems simultaneously. Processing and managing the information they generate requires specialised onboard computing capabilities.

Collins Aerospace-ის Mission Computers process data received from different systems, display information on screens, manage video switching and support the management of networked information. Their modular architecture allows systems to be adapted to the requirements of specific platforms.

Intelligence and Surveillance Systems

For defence forces, obtaining information is only one part of the mission. Equally important is the ability to process that information quickly and use it operationally.

Collins Aerospace’s intelligence capabilities include airborne ISR systems, multi-sensor platforms and data-processing technologies used for area monitoring, the detection of moving objects and the integration of information from multiple intelligence sources.

These systems can support national defence, border and coastal monitoring, as well as special operations.
