Rockwell Collins and Bombardier Aerospace unveil enhanced Cabin Electronics System for Global 5000 &
Posted on 21 July 2010 in Technology & Space
Rockwell Collins and Bombardier Aerospace has announced the release of “V7” Cabin Electronics System (CES) software for operators of Bombardier's Global 5000* and Global Express* XRS* business aircraft. The new software includes dozens of improvements to enhance the look and feel of the system.
The software, which Rockwell Collins co-developed with Teague, a leading industrial design firm, features a new Graphical User Interface (GUI) with improved intuitiveness and ease of use. The interface includes an internationally recognized icon-based menu that is less dependent on language, reflecting advances in modern user interface design.
“As the pinnacle of our team’s efforts to refresh and simplify the GUI, our CES software upgrade presents a substantial improvement in our market-leading CES capabilities,” said Tommy Dodson, vice president and general manager of Cabin Systems for Rockwell Collins. “In focus group testing, Global aircraft operators indicated that our new interface is sleek, user-friendly and reflective of a world-class cabin experience.”
Stéphane Leblanc, Vice-President, Global Completion Centre, Bombardier Business Aircraft, said that “all new aircraft deliveries will include the new V7 CES software as of July 2010.”
Rockwell Collins and Bombardier will begin rolling out V7 CES and retrofitting in-service aircraft later this fall. The software itself will be offered free of charge for most in-service aircraft (subject to configuration approval).
