    Posted by John McHale ZHUHAI, China 17 Nov. 2010. Xiamen Airlines selected a suite of avionics from Rockwell Collins in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, including MultiScan Threat Detection System and GLU-925 multi-mode receiver (MMR) for 25 Boeing 737 Next-Generation aircraft. Deliveries will begin next summer. The MultiScan Threat Detection System is a fully automatic, hands-free airborne radar system. MultiScan provides optimal clutter-free weather displays that reduce pilot workload and enhance safety and passenger comfort by minimizing unexpected turbulence encounters. The advanced GLU-925 multi-mode receiver is the first MMR certified for precision landing using either Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or instrument landing systems (ILS), according to Rockwell Collins officials. The GLU-925 is the primary navigation sensor for all phases of flight, and meets the stringent required navigation performance (RNP) requirement of 0.1 nautical miles. Xiamen Airlines also selected the following sensors from Rockwell Collins: ADF-900 automatic detection finder, DME-900 distance measuring equipment, VOR-900 VHF omnidirectional radio, HFS-900D high speed data radio, VHF-2100 very high frequency transceiver, and the LRA-900 low-range radio altimeter and passenger address unit (PAU).
