February 4, 2008 - ROCHESTER, NY - Performance Technologies (NASDAQ: PTIX), a leading developer of communication platforms and systems, today announced that it is working with Rockwell Collins (NYSE: COL) in delivering an upgrade to the Navy's E-6B Mercury aircraft. The Mercury, a Communications relay and strategic airborne command post aircraft, provides survivable, reliable and endurable airborne command, control, and communications between the National Command Authority (NCA) and U.S. strategic and non-strategic forces.
