UK Army Aviation Trainer Upgrade Awarded to Rockwell Collins

(Cedar Rapids, Iowa, June 24, 2008) -- Rockwell Collins has been awarded the sixth phase of the Mission Command Trainer(r) (MCT(tm)) upgrade of the United Kingdom Army's Aviation Command and Tactics Trainer (ACTT).

Valued at $5.5 million, this phase of the program includes 60 channels of the EPX-50 Image Generator, 12 Integrated Helmet and Display Sighting Systems, avionics, weapons and after action review upgrades. Rockwell Collins serves as the prime contractor for ACTT.

The increased field of view reflects current Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) being used by our front line aircrew on operations. Finally, this latest enhancement will expand the ACTT's role in facilitating joint pre-deployment training.

"This award validates our performance on the program and continues our tradition of providing advanced tactical training capability for the United Kingdom Army," said Kent Statler, executive vice president of Rockwell Collins Services. "Our EPX technology provides tremendous value in preparing soldiers for operation in today's high threat environment."

Col. Alex Tucker, Commandant School of Army Aviation said, "The Phase 6 upgrade, which includes the incorporation of the IHADSS, will ensure that the ACTT continues to play a key role in the Command and Tactics training of our pilots."
