Collins Aerospace’s Flight2 aftermarket avionics solution, which delivers the most cost-effective and lowest-risk CNS/ATM upgrade solution has been selected for the modernisation of the Indonesian Air Force’s C-130 military transport aircraft as part of its Phase 2 rollout plan. Included in the avionics upgrade is a full glass cockpit with new primary flight displays that provides commonality to many other C-130 users as well as commercial aircraft.
By upgrading to Flight2, the Indonesian Air Force’s C-130H will be in compliance with the most recent International Civil Aviation Organization standards, while also equipping it with a tactical advantage in military operations.
Collins Aerospace announced that it will partner with PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) to modernize 11 Indonesian Air Force C-130 military transport aircraft, with the former serving as a contractor to PTDI.
“This collaboration shows PTDI's readiness to implement the work of the Indonesian Air Force’s C-130 modernization program, especially in the avionics upgrade” said PTDI’s President Director Gita Amperiawan.
“Modernizing to the Flight2 system provides the Indonesian Air Force with a suite of communications, navigation and surveillance equipment seamlessly integrates new-generation avionics with legacy sensors, radios, autopilot and aircraft systems that will increase operational and mission efficiency” said Martin Hoare, Director, Global Business Development, Military Avionics & Helicopters.
Flight2 transforms a federated analog system into a modern digital glass cockpit. With its advanced displays and integrated military/civil flight management system, Flight2 delivers the most advanced capabilities available today, including required navigation performance, area navigation flight management system with high altitude release point, and computed air release point precision airdrop software. At the same time, it's the most cost-effective and lowest-risk CNS/ATM upgrade solution.
As part of the upgrade, Collins will leverage its Flight2 Mobility Mission Application (MMA) architecture, which allows customers to select from a super set of off-the-shelf capabilities. Customers using the MMA architecture can tailor the system to meet specific mission requirements, comply with regional communications navigation surveillance/air traffic management mandates, or simply to maximize capabilities for a given budget.
Collins Aerospace has delivered over 1,100 Flight2 solutions for military fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft, including the KC-135, KC-10, C-130 P-3, C-2A, E-2C and E-3. Collins has also delivered or is on contract for 370 C-130s upgrades in 16 different countries. More C-130 upgrades have been fitted with avionics from Collins than from any other single provider in the world.
