“We are extremely proud of our TCTS II team and their successful partnership with Collins Aerospace,” said Larry Ezell, senior vice president and general manager of the Leonardo DRS Airborne and Intelligence Systems business unit. “The teams’ effective collaboration will enable continued success delivering this important product to the warfighter as the TCTS II program enters full rate production.”
