I think most instruments are Rockwell Collins but it is equipped with Honeywell’s Next Generation FMS.

Thank you.  Sorry, I am a novice, but I assume that means the several video displays?

The video displays are either Rockwell Collins or Honyewell. the FMS flight management system is Honeywell (if I am correct). The FMS will show up on the RC displays in the cockpit after pilot input. For more on FMS go here:

It is up to the customer to decide which system they want in the aircraft.
