Rockwell Collins acquires Anzus, Inc.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (September 25, 2006) - Rockwell Collins, Inc. (NYSE: COL), a global leader in aviation electronics and communications, has entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire Anzus, Inc., a privately owned developer of software that enables high-speed tactical data link processing
and sensor correlation for the U.S. Department of Defense as well as foreign governments.
"Anzus is an innovative company that will enhance Rockwell Collins' Tactical Data Link Integration solutions, providing software
applications that will greatly augment our Network-Centric Operations capabilities," said Rockwell Collins Chairman, President
and CEO Clay Jones.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Rockwell Collins is acquiring all outstanding shares of Anzus in a cash transaction.
Approximately 50 Anzus employees will join Rockwell Collins. With annual revenues of approximately $12 million, the acquisition

Collins has a keen understanding of the smart communications and data link integration marketplace, where our software solutions
work well. Both companies have unique strengths, but we share a common approach to building trust and developing solutions
that provide network-centric interoperability for our clients."
