SINGAPORE, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- Singapore's air force has received its first modernized C-130 featuring Rockwell Collins avionics upgrade.
The company's Flight2TM upgrade included an improved flight management system allowing access to precision Global Positioning System approaches, preferred air traffic control routings and search-and-rescue patterns; multifunction displays featuring active matrix liquid crystal display technology; a central engine instrument display replacing analog gauges; improved voice communication; an enhanced digital autopilot and flight director; and an advanced digital weather radar.
"With this upgrade, the (Singapore air force) gains a modern digital cockpit enabling greater mission effectiveness for their C-130 fleet and providing them with access to global airspace," said Dave Nieuwsma, vice president and general manager of Mobility and Rotary Wing Solutions for Rockwell Collins.
Nine additional C-130s will be delivered to Singapore's air force once upgrades are completed.
Modernization of the aircraft is being performed by Singapore Technologies Aerospace Ltd.
