Rotary Avionics Innovation Laboratory (RAIL)

Proprietary systems can be difficult to integrate. Which is precisely why Northrop Grumman created the Rotorcraft Avionics Innovation Laboratory (RAIL).

RAIL provides an innovative, collaborative environment to integrate and test rotorcraft capabilities, reducing risk and enabling rapid technology insertion to the warfighter.

So what exactly is this video showcasing? It doesn't seem to promote this RAIL sub-company as such, but looks like it's leaning more towards displaying possibly common avionics architecture between different aircraft. Am I right? And if I am right, is this common avionics system new?

@FlyboyHelosim This video showcases the benefits of integration and interoperability between today’s existing defense systems.

@northropgrummanmedia So I was right, basically, common avionics.
