Avionics experts Rockwell Collins have teamed up with Airbus to apply their newest form of security system. The system is being said to be applied from here on out on the A350 and A380 model. This innovative security system has been created to send messages automatically to grounded authorities in case of a malfunction of the aircraft. Sources at Rockwell have stated that if the system where to be triggered their position frequency would be enhanced up to every 60 seconds appose to the standard 15-minute period. The system will be transmitted with ACARs aircraft equipment to the ground “receivers.” Not only will the system be able to track the aircrafts position but other important stats that pertain to their exact location such as airspeed, altitude, and engine performance.
