Legacy avionics component manufacturer Ontic has signed three license agreements with Honeywell to deliver a range of radar systems and navigation and communication product lines. Under the agreements, Ontic will produce P440/660/880 Primus weather radar systems; BendixKing’s Gold Crown, Nav/Com, and Multi-Hazard product lines, including traffic awareness systems, traffic collision avoidance systems, and enhanced ground proximity warning systems; and other legacy components.
“Ontic has taken on a number of exclusive license agreements to support existing radar and navcom technology for the aerospace market, positioning the company as a key OEM for existing radar technology,” said Ontic v-p and CCO Gareth Blackbird. “All three licenses are a testament to our relationship with Honeywell and will enable Ontic to provide for customers throughout the military and commercial global markets.”
Ontic will deliver these latest licenses, along with a range of complementary products to the aftermarket, through its facilities in the U.S., the UK, and Singapore. It is also looking at setting up a radar center of excellence in Chatsworth, California.
“We have a long-standing relationship with Ontic, and they have supported us through various license agreements like this over the years,” said Honeywell Aerospace v-p and GM of avionics Vipul Gupta. “These licensing agreements reinforce the strong partnership we have built and we are confident they will provide excellent value to our customers.”
