Collins Aerospace is investing $26.5 million to expand its Largo, Florida facility to accelerate the production of its commercial aviation radars and multi-domain security solutions for defense customers. This investment will create over 100 new highly skilled jobs across engineering and factory operations disciplines.
“As global airspace becomes more congested and contested, customers need secure, interoperable systems for seamless coordination. This expansion strengthens our ability to deliver critical capabilities that keep airline passengers safe and military operators mission-ready, faster,” said Nate Boelkins, president of Avionics at Collins Aerospace. “RTX has made significant investments in its people and operations across Florida, and we value our partnership with the State as we continue to grow.”
“As a long-standing presence in Florida’s aerospace and aviation sector, Collins Aerospace’s expansion in Largo not only bolsters the growing Tampa Bay-area military and defense cluster, but it also strengthens Florida’s position as a leader in aviation manufacturing and national security,” said Secretary of Commerce J.
