Bombardier selects Rockwell Collins as HGS supplier
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (September 10, 2007) - Rockwell Collins' HGS-6605 Head-Up Guidance System (HGS®) will be a new option for Bombardier Challenger 605*.
"This agreement builds on a long tradition of providing Bombardier with industry-leading head-up display technology. We've
had a successful track record with our systems on Bombardier Challenger 604*, CRJ* and Q-series* platforms, and we look forward
to delivering the latest advancements on the Challenger 605," said John Desmond, vice president, Head-Up Guidance Systems
for Rockwell Collins. "With this agreement, even more Bombardier operators will enjoy the benefits of enhanced low-visibility
operations, improved energy management and dependability."
"The Bombardier Enhanced Vision System featuring the Rockwell Collins HGS, combined with the Challenger 605 jet's Pro Line
21 flight deck is outstanding," said Eric Martel, vice-president and general manager, Challenger and Global programs. "We
are delighted to offer such a fantastic option to our customers."
The Rockwell Collins HGS-6600 series, featuring advanced active-matrix liquid crystal display technology, presents critical
flight information in the pilot's forward field of view. Aircraft flight path and attitude symbols appear overlaying the
outside scene enhancing situational awareness, improving energy management and increasing touchdown precision. The Rockwell
Collins industry-leading HGS provides the brightest image over the widest head up display field-of-view while significantly
improving installed head clearance.
