World Defense Show 2026: Northrop Grumman to present improved C2 management system
The Northrop Grumman Integrated Battle Command System is in service with Poland and the US Army with another 20 countries believed to have expressed an interest.
Rockwell Collins has been awarded a contract by the US Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) to assist government development of a standard set of interfaces for Required Navigation Performance Area Navigation (RNP RNAV) capability aligned to the FACE Technical Standard.
The company will demonstrate its FACE-aligned Flight Management System application on military representative mission computer hardware in various configurations as a part of the effort. The demonstration will offer the government the data rights to compete future RNP RNAV requirements and will showcase the portability of the capabilities.
The FACE Consortium, a government and industry partnership, developed the FACE Technical Standard to define an open avionics environment for all military airborne platform types.
Troy Brunk, vice president and general manager, airborne solutions, Rockwell Collins, said: ‘Our open architecture Flight Management System software product is written for fast and affordable integration across a wide variety of avionics systems. Its RNP RNAV capability provides full civil airspace interoperability while ensuring timely and efficient mission planning and execution.’
