Investing in the Future

Highly focused research and development is a fundamental here; it always has been a top priority at Rockwell Collins, and it always will be. Rockwell Collins has a proud history of investing in advanced technology and bringing new products into the aviation and communication markets. We consistently spend approximately 19% of our total sales on research and development. This is considerably higher than what is typically funded in the aerospace and the overall electronics industry.

ATC functions as a "think tank" where ideas and technologies are incubated and focused for long-term solutions. In this way, Rockwell Collins ensures that new technologies do not pose unnecessary risk to the business development and upgrading of new products and solutions.

Rockwell Collins remains committed to our research and development investment activity, which is based on a strategy of technology and design solutions that serve multiple markets. Our internally funded research and development efforts continue to be leveraged and complemented by customer-funded engineering.
