Collins Aerospace, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, has been awarded a $438 million contract by the Federal Aviation Administration to support the Radar System Replacement program, a cornerstone of the agency's effort to modernize the U.S. National Airspace System. The program is a key part of the Department of Transportation's Brand New Air Traffic Control System.
Collins will deliver next-generation cooperative and non-cooperative radar systems, giving air traffic controllers reliable and secure information to support operations. These new radars will simplify operations by replacing multiple legacy systems with a unified, cost-effective and adaptable architecture.
"As a trusted supplier to the FAA for more than 70 years, Collins is ready to rapidly deploy next-generation radar systems that replace outdated technology with a single, modern and interoperable solution," said Nate Boelkins, president of Avionics at Collins Aerospace. "These systems integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, enhance safety and efficiency for air traffic controllers, reduce long-term costs and ensure the system is prepared for the future of the National Airspace."

Both are qualified to meet FAA surveillance requirements through prior test-site certification activities.
More than 550 RTX radar systems are already operating within the national airspace today, providing a proven foundation for large-scale modernization. RTX's Condor Mk3 and ASR-XM radar systems provide precise aircraft tracking, especially at lower altitudes.
