For the USAF, the partnership will provide access to Collins Aerospace’s commercial capabilities and technical data.

In a separate development, the USAF has selected Collins Aerospace to broaden the communication capabilities of the U-2 Dragon Lady aircraft.

The company will modernise the airforce’s fleet of U-2 Dragon Lady reconnaissance aircraft with HF-9087D high-frequency (HF) radios.

The upgrade will support efforts to extend the lifespan of the aircraft.

In addition to reconnaissance duties, the U-2 will be able to securely transfer command and control (C2) data in real-time over HF.
