Collins Aerospace Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX), has been selected by the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to upgrade its fleet of U-2 Dragon Lady aircraft with HF-9087D High Frequency (HF) radios.

The company is a supplier of HF systems for the USAF's High Frequency Global Communications System (HFGCS) and provides HF communications on nearly all airlift, tanker and bomber assets used in the Department of Defense today. http://www.asdnews.com/news/defense/2019/09/17/collins-aerospace-broadens-communication-capabilities-usaf-u2-dragon-lady
