Collins Radio Company was a pioneering American communications and electronics manufacturer founded in 1933 by Arthur A. Collins in Cedar Rapids. The company initially specialized in shortwave radio equipment and quickly gained international recognition after supplying communications systems for Admiral Richard Byrd's Antarctic expedition. Over the following decades, Collins Radio became a leader in military, aviation, broadcast, and space communications technology, providing equipment used in the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo space programs. Known for its engineering excellence and innovation, the company developed many landmark radio receivers, transmitters, and avionics systems. In 1973, Collins Radio was acquired by Rockwell International and later evolved into Rockwell Collins, which eventually became part of Collins Aerospace.
