Connected Aviation focuses on providing advanced, integrated solutions that enhance connectivity, efficiency, and safety in the aviation industry. This includes offering cutting-edge technologies and services for aircraft connectivity, data management, and communication systems. Their solutions enable seamless communication between aircraft, ground operations, and air traffic control, improving operational efficiency, passenger experience, and overall aviation safety. The business unit supports both commercial and military aviation sectors, leveraging innovative technologies to drive advancements in connected aviation ecosystems. The CCL role is highly visible as a key contributor to the overall success of the Cyber Mission Support (CMS) team.
