About us
Meet the founder
Hello and welcome!
Having worked in aviation for over 30 years, I've gained a broad perspective on the industry, markets and, the international regulatory and technical standards landscape. My background ranges from development and certification of on-board systems, to data communication systems supporting connected aircraft concepts, and traffic management concepts supporting operations of emerging airspace users.
I'm happy to talk about your needs to see how I can help!
- Bob

Why "GXA"?
I was first licensed as an Amateur Radio operator in 1976. The ham radio hobby fueled my interest in electronics which eventually became my vocation, leading me to a long career at Collins.
GXA is the suffix to my FCC license. I chose the name of the company as a tip of the hat to the hobby and to a famous ham, the founder of the Collins Radio Company, Arthur Collins. - Bob
