Rockwell Collins selects Astronics Corporation as the preferred supplier for avionics databus test solutions

Rockwell Collins selected Astronics Corporation's Astronics Ballard Technology, as the preferred vendor for avionics databus test products under a long-term enterprise sourcing agreement. Astronics Ballard Technology is a leader in the development and manufacture of avionics databus interface products and wholly-owned by Astronics Corporation, a leading provider of advanced technologies for the global aerospace and defense industries.

Astronics Ballard Technology designs and manufactures reliable test and simulation interfaces for many avionics databus protocols, including MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, ARINC 708, serial, discrete and analog I/O. When paired with Ballard's CoPilot, an industry-leading test & analysis software, the interfaces provide an easy and powerful way to interact with avionics databuses.

Jon Neal, Vice President and General Manager of Ballard Technology, commented, “Rockwell Collins is a market leader in avionics systems development and a key customer of Ballard Technology. We have enjoyed a long history of collaboration with Rockwell Collins on many successful projects and feel that their awarding this enterprise-wide sourcing agreement to Ballard is a testament to our engineering capabilities, product quality and customer focus.”
