Leverage
opportunities for information management growth
With the acquisition of ARINC, Rockwell Collins combines information-enabled systems with a global network and infrastructure for air transport, business aviation, airports and critical infrastructure.
Our December 2013 acquisition of ARINC positions Rockwell Collins as a leader in aviation information management, building on more than a decade of innovation in the development of information-enabled avionic solutions. Today we provide the crucial connectivity to enable data and content to be accessed and shared — at 41,000 feet, at more than 130 airports and over 1,100 ground stations across the globe.
Trends to increase network traffic
Growing traffic — Worldwide air traffic is expected to double every 15 years — resulting in nearly 85,000 new air transport, regional and business aircraft in operation by 2030.
More information enablement — By 2030, more than 80 percent of air transport, regional and business aviation aircraft are expected to be information-enabled with advanced avionics, connectivity and services.
eBorders movement ramps up — Growing security concerns and requirements have raised interest in eBorders solutions that screen passenger information even before an aircraft lands, optimizing passenger flow and enhancing overall border security.
Retooling the airspace — Initiatives in the United States and Europe to re-engineer an overcrowded airspace have the potential to increase network traffic over time.
