Collins Starts FAA-Standard Radio Altimeter Upgrades in 2027

LAS VEGAS – October 22, 2026 -- Collins Aerospace, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, will start upgrading its radio altimeters at its service centers in 2027, giving business aviation operators a route to meet new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) operational standards without replacing existing systems.

Collins upgrades existing altimeter variants instead of requiring replacement

The company is offering simplified upgrade paths for its existing radio altimeter variants. Collins says the upgraded units meet the new FAA requirements and have demonstrated resilience to 5G interference.

Radio altimeters measure an aircraft's height above terrain and feed automatic flight control, cockpit instrument displays and warning systems. Collins designs its units to filter out false altitude returns caused by structures, nearby aircraft or ground features.

ClickDimensions Founders Launch Agentic Marketing Platform

Wilmington, Del. – October 22, 2026 -- Thinking Streams Inc. has launched ThinkingStreams, an agentic marketing automation platform for B2B teams that integrates with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and runs AI agents inside the marketing system rather than in a separate chat window.

Agents draft full campaigns from a single marketer brief

A marketer writes a brief, and the agents plan and draft emails, SMS, landing pages, forms, social posts, blog posts and nurture journeys. Nothing sends or publishes until a person approves it. The company says this removes the manual rebuild that follows drafting copy in a standalone AI tool, which loses brand voice and context.

Los Angeles – October 22, 2026 -- Property ID Corporation has launched Entitlements Home Disclosure through NakedHouse.ai, a report that puts zoning-based development rights into the real estate transaction at the time of listing.

Report covers expansion limits, accessory units and permitted uses

The report examines allowable expansion, additional accessory dwelling units, building-height limits, setbacks and permitted uses. Property ID says these details can materially affect how buyers evaluate a property, yet they are often missing when a purchase decision begins. Finding them has traditionally required lengthy research, visits to government offices and a working knowledge of zoning regulations.
