Research overview
Collins Aerospace is a wholly owned subsidiary of RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX; formerly Raytheon Technologies Corporation, renamed RTX in 2023). Collins Aerospace was formed on November 26, 2018 when United Technologies Corporation (UTC) completed its acquisition of Rockwell Collins and merged it with UTC Aerospace Systems. In 2020, UTC merged with Raytheon Company to create Raytheon Technologies (later RTX Corporation), making Collins Aerospace one of RTX's principal aerospace businesses alongside Pratt & Whitney and Raytheon.
- India launch
- 1997
- Maturity
- Multi-Function / Full-Stack GCC + Manufacturing
Collins Aerospace India spans engineering (avionics, advanced structures, interiors, power & controls), a dedicated Engineering Development & Test Center for product testing/certification, digital, supply chain/procurement, and now large-scale advanced manufacturing (CIOC) producing 70+ products with AI, additive manufacturing and robotics - a breadth of function (R&D/engineering + testing/certification + manufacturing + supply chain) that goes beyond a typical captive engineering center into a full-stack, multi-function operation with a significant manufacturing arm.
Location rationale
Bengaluru was selected for its deep aerospace and engineering talent pool, established supplier/ecosystem base (e.g., long-running partnership with L&T Technology Services), and its location within the KIADB Aerospace Park - a dedicated aerospace industrial zone - which supports co-location of engineering, testing and manufacturing under India's 'Make in India' initiative. Collins also maintains a presence in Hyderabad, drawing on the city's engineering/IT talent base (HITEC City corridor), though public detail on the Hyderabad site's specific function is limited.
