NATIONAL HARBOR, Maryland (Sept. 4, 2014) - Rockwell Collins, the primary avionics provider for all U.S. Air Force tanker programs, will showcase its Head-up Guidance System and C-130 avionics demonstrators at the Air Force Association's Air & Space Conference and Technology Exposition. In addition, the Rockwell Collins ESA Vision Systems F-35 Lightning II Helmet Mounted Display System (HMDS) will be in the spotlight at the Northrop Grumman exhibit (Booth 309).

Attendees are invited to stop by the exhibit (Booth 1017) to see why Rockwell Collins is an industry leader in providing low-risk, flexible, affordable and proven CNS/ATM solutions​ ​that enable its military customers to access the global airspace with confidence.

Features and benefits of the Rockwell Collins demonstrations at the Air & Space Conference include:

Head-up Guidance ​ System ​ Demonstrator

  • Uses the proven HGS Guidance to Touchdown (GTT) symbology to land and takeoff in adverse weather, increasing mission efficiency
  • Enhances situational awareness relative to the runway and surrounding terrain, increasing mission flexibility
  • New multi-band infrared Enhanced Vision Sensor (EVS) HUD display
  • Synthetic Vision System (SVS) digital terrain HUD overlay

C-130 Flight2™ Cockpit Demonstrator

  • CNS/ATM compliant for 2020
  • Integration of certified commercial and military flight management system (FMS)
  • Includes Electronic Engine Instruments, ADS-B Out, and Required Navigation Performance
  • On schedule and on budget upgrades to more than 150 C-130 aircraft in 14 countries and on 419 U.S. Air Force C/KC-135s

 F-35 Lightning II Helmet Mounted Display System

  • Provides enhanced situational awareness by allowing the pilot to "look through" the airframe
  • Integrated, virtual head-up display on the helmet visor for critical flight and mission information with a smooth transition to HMD symbology
  • Night vision capability built into the helmet
  • Lightweight helmet with optimal center of gravity for maximum comfort and reduced pilot fatigue
  • Provides weapons targeting by looking at and designating targets, and target verification when receiving steering cues from onboard sensors or via datalink
