Rockwell Collins will develop the next generation of software for the Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) close air support system under a new $15 million contract from the U.S. Air Force, the company said Tuesday, Nov. 26.
TACP, scheduled for completion by late summer 2016, will provide a graphic user interface with updated aircraft capabilities and the integration of TACP modernization systems, Rockwell said.
“The Rockwell Collins TACP 1.4.5 software offering capitalizes on our company’s vast experience in close air support system solutions,” said Tommy Dodson, vice president and general manager of Rockwell Collins Surface Solutions.
