As part of its new three-year contract with TRU Simulation + Training, a subsidiary of Textron, Rockwell Collins will be providing its integrated visual systems for several of TRU’s full flight simulator clients for commercial airlines and airframe manufacturers. The company will be supplying its EP-8100 image generators with JVC laser illuminated projectors and a number of support items, such as airport model databases, spares and training.
The device features an open, scalable architecture, designed to make it easier to add new features and enhancements throughout the life of the system. It provides procurement cycles of five to eight years, and life-cycle support in excess of 15 years.
The systems will be manufactured at Rockwell Collins’ facility in Utah, United States with initial installations in Montreal, Canada and Florida, United States. Final site work will take place at multiple TRU end user sites around the world, including Europe and Asia.
