Rockwell Collins has secured a contract to develop a set of interfaces intended to help the Naval Air Systems Command meet future Required Navigation Performance Area Navigation requirements and comply with the Future Airborne Capability Environment technical standard.
The company will demonstrate its Flight Management System software offering on military computer hardware across various configurations as part of its contract with NAVAIR, Rockwell Collins said Wednesday.
Troy Brunk, vice president and general manager of airborne solutions at Rockwell Collins, said the company’s Flight Management System is an open architecture-based platform that complies with the FACE standard and is designed for integration with various avionics systems.
The FACE Consortium created the FACE technical standard in an effort to establish guidelines that seek to facilitate interoperability of military avionics systems and related software through a common computing environment.
