About Rockwell Collins

Rockwell Collins’ was founded in 1933 in Cedar Rapids as the Collins Radio Company. Their first products included shortwave radio equipment for the AM Broadcast industry, and they began with working for the military and various scientific communities. With their radio and navigation products, they quickly became a popular supplier for the military. After the war, the company began to broaden their scope, producing equipment for many sectors of the communications field and had the opportunity to provide communications for the Space Race, various NASA projects, and the US Skylab Program. In 1973, the company was purchased by Rockwell International and in 2001, the avionics division of the company was spun off to become Rockwell Collins, Inc. After the formation of Rockwell Collins, their products and services mainly focused on defense and commercial avionics. Through the 2000’s, Rockwell Collins began acquiring multiple businesses, as well became a major supplier for in-flight entertainment. In 2017, the company was acquired by United Technologies, and then was merged with UTC Aerospace Systems to form Collins Aerospace, which it remains as today. Currently, as Collins Aerospace, the company focuses on products for the Aerospace and Industrial industries.
