Rockwell Collins : to introduce Coalescence™ mixed reality training system at Avalon 2017

GEELONG, Australia (Feb. 21, 2017) - For the first time in the international defense community, Rockwell Collins will introduce Coalescence™, a mixed reality training system for air, land and maritime domains at Avalon 2017.

Also at the show, Rockwell Collins will:

• Host a Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) demonstration connecting its booth in Geelong, Australia, with the company's headquarters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
• Demonstrate wideband high frequency capability from a ground station to a C-17A aircraft, in coordination with the Royal Australian Air Force.
• Announce its contract with Thales Australia to integrate the Digital Terminal Control System into the Integral Computing System of the Hawkei Protected Mobility Vehicle-Light.

'Our strong relationship with the Australian Air Force is the result of working together to create integrated, connected and joint solutions that keep warfighters and citizens safe,' said Jim Walker, vice president and managing director, Asia Pacific for Rockwell Collins. 'We're bringing these capabilities to light at the Avalon Air Show by demonstrating our latest innovations that map to our customers goals of increasing interoperability and cost sensitivity.'

At the company's exhibit (Hall 3, Stand F7), experts from Rockwell Collins will be available to discuss and demonstrate key offerings for the following solutions. These include:

• Coalescence mixed reality system - Mixed reality training for air, land and sea domains
