Honeywell to acquire heads-up-display assets of Saab Technology

Honeywell announced it has reached an agreement with Saab, a Swedish aerospace and defense company, to acquire its heads-up-display, or HUD, assets for use in a variety of Honeywell avionics offerings. The completion of the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions including the accomplishment of certain development milestones. “As part of the acquisition agreement, Saab will partner with Honeywell to develop and strengthen its HUD product line. HUDs give pilots increased situational awareness, especially at night or in difficult weather conditions. Passengers will also enjoy safer and more fuel-efficient flights, while more often reaching their destinations on time. The addition of the HUD assets will further strengthen Honeywell’s comprehensive end-to-end avionics and safety offerings. Importantly, the HUDs will be integrated into Honeywell Anthem, a new revolutionary integrated flight deck with an intuitive user interface and highly scalable design, which will also feature state-of-the art characteristics such as wide field-of-view, high image resolution, low system latency and lower weight. It will also be made available for Honeywell Primus Epic flight decks and standalone retrofit solutions,” Honeywell stated.
