RTX's Collins Aerospace Announces Radio Altimeter Upgrades To Meet New FAA Standards
xCruzo Brief
Collins Aerospace, a unit of RTX, says it has simplified upgrade paths for its existing radio altimeter variants to help business aviation operators meet new FAA operational standards. The company’s approach is designed to demonstrate resilience to 5G interference without requiring full system replacement. Collins’ radio altimeters measure precise height above terrain and feed functions such as automatic flight control, cockpit displays, and warning systems, while filtering false returns from structures, other aircraft, and ground features. Service-center upgrades are scheduled to begin in 2027 under a multi-year program covering tens of thousands of aircraft, aligned with Collins’ broader airspace modernization efforts.
