…defense, homeland security, and other security applications. InfiniDome Ltd., Honeywell Aerospace, and Easy Aerial Inc. yesterday announced the Robust Navigation System, which integrates GPS anti-jamming technology, a radar velocity system, and an inertial navigation system. The companies claimed that the technology is the first resilient system allowing drones to not only safely operate, but also successfully complete their missions, even in GPS-challenged or fully denied environments. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), from a 20-lb. Class 1 multicopter to a 150-lb. Class 3 fixed-wing drone, rely almost entirely on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for the most basic navigation functionality, particularly…

Honeywell Aerospace announced today at AUVSI Xponential that it is developing a new technology suite for light drones that allows them to fly three times longer and with less human intervention. Traditional drones are limited by battery capacity and line-of-sight radio links, said the company. In comparison, drones equipped with Honeywell’s Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) technologies can fly farther, carry more weight, avoid hazards up to 3 km (1.86 mi.) away and stream video of their progress anywhere in the world, claimed Honeywell. “These are technologies that businesses have been waiting for,” said Stéphane Fymat, vice president and…

…solution to this critical industry need,” said Matt Picchetti, vice president and general manager for navigation and sensors at Honeywell Aerospace. “This partnership will create world-class solutions that will help accelerate the future of flight, especially in urban areas.” The companies said they expect the system to be commercially available in the first half of 2022. Honeywell and InfiniDome will show a preliminary version of their joint solution at the AUVSI Xponential at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta this week. It is on display in Honeywell’s booth, No. 3523, and InfiniDome’s booth, No. 3309.

…systems, such as 4G, are not available, said Honeywell. Honeywell Aerospace said its products and services are found on virtually every commercial, defense, and space aircraft. The Honeywell business unit builds aircraft engines, cockpit and cabin electronics, wireless connectivity systems, mechanical components, and more. Honeywell Aerospace said its hardware and software can create more fuel-efficient aircraft, more direct and on-time flights, and safer skies and airports. Honeywell offers avionics, flight control, navigation, radar, communications, actuation, cooling, motors, and turbo-electric propulsion systems for the emerging urban air mobility (UAM) segment. The systems are all tailored for piloted VTOL, UAM, and unmanned…

VELO3D and Honeywell Aerospace, a user of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies with knowledge across various platforms and applications, have announced a partnership to qualify VELO3D’s Sapphire system as a manufacturing platform for 3D print production of aircraft components. The Sapphire system was selected for its capabilities for building complex geometries without the requirement of support structures. The VELO3D Sapphire system will be in Honeywell Aerospace’s Phoenix facility. The qualification process is underway and is focused on INCONEL, a nickel-based super alloy well suited for extreme temperatures. VELO3D will provide their expertise in developing suitable parameter sets for Honeywell Aerospace to…

RAPID+TCT panel on Trends in Additive Manufacturing included leaders from Ford, Honeywell Aerospace, Jabil and Siemens. Dulchinos kicked things off with an obstacle. “One of the challenges today is if you design for additive you don’t have a backup plan to go produce in a traditional manufacturing process. That’s problematic, because there isn’t really a rich supply chain today. We’re really big advocates around open systems, around having partnerships and ecosystems that come together to set standards and…

…shortly after news of a DARPA-funded research project at Honeywell Aerospace on the use of Sigma Labs technology as available in PrintRite3D. The study (“LPBF [Laser Powder Bed Fusion] Right the First Time—the Right Mix Between Modeling and Experiments” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40192-019-00133-8) was published in the journal Integrating Materials and Manufacturing Innovation. It describes the validation involved in manufacturing a challenging metal component. Sensors were used to develop a new in-process quality metric called thermal emission density (TED), used to monitor component quality with respect to porosity as the part was being built. The research paper concludes: “This work has demonstrated that…

…validation of a challenging metal component being manufactured by Honeywell Aerospace using laser bed powder fusion. The conclusion: “This work has demonstrated that a combination of physics-based modeling and experimental verification and validation can enable early-stage identification and elimination of potential problems.” PrintRite3D is platform independent, it can work with most existing metal AM systems. Using it means you gain an independent third-party source for Quality Assurance. You can retrofit PrintRite3D to existing AM installations or integrate it into new purchases, and the platform is compatible with existing OEM supplied sensors. Here’s how the process works. The software modules acquire…
