US Army, Rockwell Collins Collaborate On Products, Services To US Army

1. The US Army Material Command and Rockwell Collins have signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement for implementing strategies and initiatives to optimize efforts needed to supply advanced products and services to war fighters.

“The shared goal of this agreement is to achieve quicker contracting, by leveraging and expanding existing contract vehicles and increasing the speed of business. This will result in cost savings, increased communications and sharing of technologies, and opening the door to have direct dialogue with the Army.” Thierry Tosi, vice president and general manager of Service Solutions for Rockwell Collins said.

For supply and repair activities where Rockwell Collins is the only approved source, the parties agree to work on “smoothing” of commerciality determinations, develop reportable metrics, improved software update distribution and sharing, and optimized lead times, the company announced Tuesday.
