Heidelberg-based Rockwell Collins Deutschland GmbH is a centre of excel­lence for avionics computers, integrated systems and reaction wheels for satellites (TELDIX ® Space Wheels). Some 525 employees work in the company’s engineering, manufacturing, customer support and other services. Building on our 50 years of experience with military computers in Germany, we have supplied products for more than 20 different platforms for air, land and maritime applications. Currently, our most important programmes are Eurofighter and CH-53 product improve­ment. In the space market, RCD has always been internationally oriented and is a world leader. But also in the defence market it is not only restricted to local customers. For example, as part of CH-53 product improvement, Rockwell Collins has transferred production of its CDU-7000 control display unit for the international market from Cedar Rapids to Heidelberg.
