Collins Aerospace Tech Gives Controllers and Pilots Ample Warning to Avoid Runway Incursions

Raytheon Technologies ·  May 9 00:00

Luckily on that day in fall 2023, the plane was still about five miles out, and an air-traffic automation system flagged the problem, giving controllers plenty of time to correct course.

That software system, called STARS ARV, is developed by Collins Aerospace, an RTX business. And it is one of many ways Collins is integrating data from across the airspace to help airports, airlines and aviation authorities improve the safety and efficiency of their operations.

"Hearing and then ultimately seeing a video of the solution working to prevent a potential accident was both exciting and a point of pride," said Chris Rogers, Collins' director of automation and precision navigation. "Our teams work every day to enable a safer journey for passengers around the world."
