Rockwell Collins brought members of the Australian defence industry together last week for a technology symposium to learn more about the company’s vision for net-enabled warfare.

This two-day event – held in Canberra, Australia – was led by Nick Gibbs, managing director for Australia, and TC Chan, vice president and managing director for the Asia Pacific region.

At the event, nearly 75 customers participated in product and system road map presentations on a range of topics relating to advanced net enablement. They also participated in live demonstrations of several solutions, including our software defined radios, Firestorm™ ground targeting system, satellite communication (SATCOM) systems and Sentinel™ soldier system.
