The CAAS system with flexible cockpit displays has been optimised for cargo, assault and multi-mission roles.

“This agreement extends our successful relationship of supporting the USSOCOM’s critical mission as well as our position as a trusted source for technical expertise and logistics management.”

Its fully integrated flight and mission avionics systems management offers embedded cognitive decision aiding, thereby reducing pilot workload for demanding tactical missions

The CAAS’ integrated digital map and tactical situational awareness displays provide improved battlefield survivability and mission effectiveness.

The contract also covers field service and repair chain management for other installed avionics.

Since the USSOCOM began using performance-based agreements for service and support approximately ten years ago, Rockwell Collins has been able to keep critical equipment mission-ready by improving reliability and reducing the volume of returns and shortening turnaround times.
