Rockwell Collins’ ARINC Border Management Solutions chosen by U.S. Customs and Border Protection

To enhance the management, control and protection of the country’s borders, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has opted for Rockwell Collins’ ARINC Border Management Solutions to supply Advanced Passenger Information (API) and Passenger Name Record (PNR) data from airlines across the globe.
The ARINC Border Management Solution will enable CBP officials to access API and PNR data to improve border security as well as passenger processing. Thus, high-risk individuals will be identified in advance, enabling law enforcement agencies to take appropriate action. According to Mike DiGeorge, vice president of Commercial Aviation and Network Services at Rockwell Collins, “Border security continues to be a major area of focus for governments around the world. We are working with these agencies to provide solutions that improve security for everyone. Our ARINC Border Management Solutions give them the information they need in a format they can use.”
ROCKWELL Collins Border Management Solutions will now be responsible for providing the systems which receive and transmit APA and PNR data.
The secure ARINC Global Network (AGN) provides a less-complicated method for airlines to transmit information to the CBP in a consistent format. The AGN is one of the world’s largest private ground-based networks which supports over 3,000 participants, including airlines, Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) and airport facility management, as well as government agencies involved in the transport industry.
Rockwell Collins is a major supplier of border management solutions on a global scale, with systems utilized in multiple countries including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Panama, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, CARICOM (an organization of 15 Caribbean nations and dependencies), South Korea, China, Hong Kong and India, among others.
