Legacy UH-60 avionics cost you more than money.
With its unmatched flexibility and capabilities, the UH-60 Black Hawk is the go-to multimission rotorcraft for government, military and special missions operations around the globe. Unfortunately, the diminishing reliability and high repair costs of the legacy avionics suites found on prior-generation aircraft are all too often keeping these valuable resources grounded at critical times.But there is a cost-effective avionics modernization solution that meets all of your current and future Black Hawk mission requirements. And it’s available today from Rockwell Collins.

MFD-268C4A multifunction display.
To ensure both high reliability and next-generation capabilities, the Rockwell Collins Digital Avionics Management System features four highly reliable, 6-by-8-inch active matrix liquid crystal displays. In addition, the multifunction displays feature embedded
processing and graphics generation capabilities, which minimize the overall installed equipment complement while providing greater system availability through redundant flight and mission critical processing resources. To ease maintainability, the multifunction display units are fully interchangeable.
The MFD-268C4A is also sunlight readable and compliant with MIL-STD-85762A for use with current-generation night vision imaging system (NVIS) goggles.
CDU-7000 control display unit.
Ease of system operation is provided through the control display unit, which allows management and control of the system’s radio, navigation and flight plan information. System programming is accomplished through use of dedicated fixed function keys, and a full alphanumeric keyboard.
Fully ruggedized for military rotary-wing environments, the CDU-7000 features dual, dual redundant MIL-STD-1553 data buses for control and interface of mission system equipment.
Talon™ RT-8200 Programmable Digital Communication System.
Already proven in hundreds of installations, the multiband, multimode Talon combines outstanding performance with exceptional capability and flexibility in a small package. Fully compliant with all current allied and coalition V/UHF radio specifications, Talon provides voice and data communications for increased interoperability, flexibility and combat effectiveness.
DTU-7100 data transfer unit.
This intelligent microprocessor-based unit permits access to aeronautical worldwide databases
as well as mission- specific data. With the capability to access and
transfer map data files
in real time from industry standard compact flash cards, the DTU-7100 also serves as the mass memory storage for applications such as Digital Map.
Ensure your Black Hawk’s flexibility with mission-specific systems options.
