BENGALURU, Feb 20: Zen Technologies and US-based Rockwell Collins today announced their decision to join forces in military flight simulation by unveiling a next generation rotary wing simulator at Aero India 2015.
The two industry leaders recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to combine their strengths in simulation and training to offer advanced and high fidelity aviation solutions. Speaking to UNI, Colin Mahoney, Senior Vice President, International and Service Solutions for Rockwell Collins, said being able to unveil this advanced, jointly developed simulator within four months of signing the MOU with Zen Technologies clearly demonstrates the dedication and commitment of both companies to the success of this relationship. ‘This is just the first step in our collaboration. We see tremendous opportunity to provide indigenous, affordable and highly effective simulation and training solutions to India’s defence forces through our alliance with Zen,’ he said. The strategic alliance would produce top shelf solutions while also ensuring cost benefits for customers across the region since the alliance’s capabilities are indigenized, including in software, electronics and visuals. With the rotary wing platform launch, both companies aim to emerge, in the near future, as key partners to the Indian armed forces.
