Full Suite Of Components To Be Installed In Airbus And Boeing
Jets
Emirates Airlines said at the Dubai Air Show Monday it has
selected a comprehensive package of Rockwell Collins avionics for
32 new Airbus A380 and 30 new Boeing 777 aircraft. Aircraft
deliveries are in progress and will continue through 2015. The deal
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’ WXR-2100 MultiScan Threat Detection
System provides 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
- through an optimized, clutter-free display that the company says
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.
