Rockwell Collins has received a contract to assist a number of US Navy and US Marine Corps aircraft types obtain safety-critical Required Navigation Performance Area Navigation (RNP-RNAV) capabilities, the company announced on 30 August.
Under the contract Rockwell Collins will supply its Mission Flight Management Software (MFMS-1000) and Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance Calculator-1000 applications.
The applications will enable these aircraft to meet RNP-RNAV requirements and obtain global airspace access and perform GPS approach procedures with seamless integration of existing mission flight management capabilities in a portable software only solution. These procedures improve airspace utilisation and reduce congestion, delays and fuel burn while improving safety by providing more precise aircraft navigation.
