The mission-specific operational profiles featured in Pro Line Fusion for helicopters include offshore platform approaches, hover in place, extended search and rescue patterns, and other critical mission capabilities. The avionics suite combines large, high-resolution displays with touch-screen operations and intuitive keypad and cursor controls that Rockwell Collins believes can meet the demands of helicopter missions.
