Rockwell Collins Delivers Ground Soldier Ensemble Prototypes

WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
Rockwell Collins today announced that it has delivered 10 prototype systems for
the U.S. Army Ground Soldier System (GSS) Increment 1 program, which will
significantly enhance soldiers` effectiveness on the battlefield. The
announcement was made during the Association of the United States Army Annual
Meeting & Exposition in Washington.

"We believe the Rockwell Collins team has created a system that will exceed
nearly every aspect of the requirements set forth by the Ground Soldier
program," said Bruce King, vice president and general manager of Surface
Solutions for Rockwell Collins. "We`re encouraged by the feedback we`ve already
received from soldiers, and expect that our GSS Increment 1 system will be
further enhanced with the input obtained from the warfighter during the
prototype evaluation phase."

King noted the U.S. government`s efforts to embed members of their team within
the Rockwell Collins team allowed rapid progress and decision making on the
overall system.

Rockwell Collins, together with its teammate Elbit Systems of America, created a
full soldier system prototype that improves upon combat-proven displays and
navigation systems originally developed for the Land Warrior program, and
incorporates superior video processing, mass storage, computing and information
assurance capabilities. The system includes Elbit Systems of America`s proven,
Soldier-worn Dominator® computing system, to bring the required computing
capability to the program.

The GSS Increment 1 program focuses on providing mature technologies to provide
improved situational awareness and network capabilities for the soldier, while
minimizing size, weight and power. Rockwell Collins is one of three companies
selected for the Technology Development Phase of the program.
