Rockwell Collins has received a $27 million contract to establish the depot capability of the HF-121C communications system and miscellaneous radio components for the U.S. Navy’s P-8A Poseidon aircraft.
The activation stage follows the assessment of the P-8A radio component depot capability and the next phase covers sustainment plan and a potential public-private partnership, Rockwell Collins said Friday.
Thierry Tosi, vice president and general manager of Rockwell Collins’ service solutions business, said that depot capability is intended to help customers service their own equipment.
The HF-121C airborne high-frequency communication system is built to fulfill the voice and data operations requirements of HF applications at a transmit power of up to 400 watts.
Rockwell Collins will perform contract work through 2020 at the Naval Air Station’s North Island, California-based Fleet Readiness Center Southwest.
