US Airways Selects Rockwell Collins Avionics for Airbus Fleet

(Cedar Rapids, Iowa, June 25, 2008) -- US Airways has selected Rockwell Collins to provide its MultiScan Hazard Detection System and other avionics for the airline's Airbus A320 and A330 aircraft.

"US Airways now becomes one of more than 100 other airlines experiencing the benefits of this leading technology," said Jeff Standerski, vice president and general manager of Air Transport Systems for Rockwell Collins. "This contract is one more example of how our customers trust Rockwell Collins to deliver best value solutions that make flights more efficient and comfortable for their passengers."

Rockwell Collins' award-winning WXR-2100 MultiScan Hazard Detection System is the first and only radar that analyzes and determines actual weather hazards, not simply atmospheric moisture content. MultiScan is a fully automatic, hands-free airborne radar system with more than four years of operational experience that reduces pilot workload and enhances safety and passenger comfort by minimizing unexpected turbulence encounters, and provides optimal clutter-free weather detection from the nose of the aircraft to 320 nautical miles.
