Aviation electronics company Rockwell Collins was tapped by the Pentagon’s venture wing to provide technology to secure data in unmanned aerial vehicle systems, the contractor announced.
It nabbed a four-and-a-half year contract under a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency program called High-Assurance Cyber Military Systems, which will develop technology to secure defense computer systems.
National Harbor, Md.-based Rockwell Collins will lead a team that includes weapons maker Boeing, research and development firm Galois, research lab National ICT Australia, and the University of Minnesota.
