Honeywell has announced its agreement with Saab, a Swedish aerospace and defense company, to acquire its heads-up-display (HUD) assets for integration into Honeywell avionics offerings. This acquisition marks a significant milestone for Honeywell as it expands its comprehensive end-to-end avionics and safety solutions. The addition of HUDs will provide pilots with increased situational awareness, particularly in challenging weather conditions or during night flights. Passengers will also benefit from safer and more fuel-efficient journeys, with improved on-time performance.
The HUD assets obtained from Saab will be incorporated into Honeywell Anthem, an innovative integrated flight deck featuring a user-friendly interface and scalable design. The system offers a wide field-of-view, high image resolution, low system latency, and reduced weight. Honeywell Anthem will be available for both Primus Epic flight decks and standalone retrofit solutions, enhancing the cockpit experience for pilots across various aviation segments.
