Cockpit upgrade will increase collaboration, operational effectiveness and safety for UK and U.S. operators

駕駛艙升級將提高英國和美國運營商的協作、運營效率和安全性

LONDON, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, has received a $19 million contract from the Department of Defense to equip a fleet of new H-47 Chinooks for the UK Royal Air Force with its Common Avionics Architecture System (CAAS) avionics management suite. This cockpit upgrade will make UK Chinooks interoperable with the U.S. Chinooks, using the same avionics system, advance digital cockpit displays and applications.

倫敦,2024年11月12日 /PRNewswire/ — RTX公司柯林斯航空航天公司已從國防部獲得一份價值1900萬美元的合同,爲英國皇家空軍裝備一支由新型H-47奇努克機組成的通用航空電子架構系統(CAAS)航空電子管理套件。這次駕駛艙升級將使用相同的航空電子系統、先進的數字駕駛艙顯示屏和應用程序,使英國奇努克可以與美國的奇努克進行互操作。

"Interoperability with our allies will be crucial in the future fight, particularly when it comes to maintaining air dominance," said Dave Schreck, vice president and general manager of Military Avionics and Helicopters at Collins Aerospace. "Having the same battle-proven, modernized flight deck technology on both UK and U.S. aircraft will enable our forces to collaborate more seamlessly, lower their workload and increase operational effectiveness and safety in challenging environments."

柯林斯航空航天公司副總裁兼軍用航空電子設備和直升機總經理戴夫·施雷克說:「在未來的戰鬥中,與盟國的互操作性至關重要,尤其是在維持空中統治地位方面。」「在英國和美國的飛機上使用同樣經過戰鬥驗證的現代化飛行甲板技術,將使我們的部隊能夠在充滿挑戰的環境中更無縫地協作,降低工作量並提高作戰效率和安全性。」

CAAS's Flight2 Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) architecture design integrates multiple communications, navigation and mission sensor subsystems through its flexible hardware and software. Its open systems architecture enables cost-effective system upgrades and enhancements, reducing total sustainment costs over a platform's life cycle.

CAAS 的 Flight2 模塊化開放系統方法 (MOSA) 架構設計通過其靈活的硬件和軟件集成了多個通信、導航和任務傳感器子系統。其開放系統架構可實現經濟高效的系統升級和增強,從而降低平台生命週期內的總維護成本。

As part of this contract Collins Aerospace will also be responsible for completing data analysis and testing whilst working with the UK Ministry of Defence to help it meet the UK Military Airworthiness Authority's requirements.

作爲該合同的一部分,柯林斯航空航天公司還將負責完成數據分析和測試,同時與英國國防部合作,幫助其滿足英國軍事適航管理局的要求。

Earlier this year, the UK government announced that the UK's heavy lift capability would be enhanced with the purchase of 14 extended-range Chinooks, contributing an estimated £151 million into the UK economy.

今年早些時候,英國政府宣佈,購買14架增程式奇努克將增強英國的重型起重能力,估計爲英國經濟貢獻了15100萬英鎊。

Work on this contract will be conducted in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Huntsville, Alabama.

該合同的起草工作將在愛荷華州的錫達拉皮茲和阿拉巴馬州的亨茨維爾進行。
