April 29, 2025 | HoneywellEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Honeywell has received two research grants to execute projects aimed at advancing avionics and cybersecurity capabilities for the European defense sector.
The multi-year projects will be carried out by Honeywell International s.r.o. – a subsidiary of Honeywell International based in the Czech Republic. The work will be conducted at the company’s advanced engineering center in Brno.
The New Generation Military Integrated Modular Avionics (NG-MIMA) project and the Artificial Intelligence Deployable Agent (AIDA) project have been awarded under the European Defence Fund (EDF), which supports the development of European defense innovation.
The selection of Honeywell International s.r.o. as a consortium member highlights the company’s commitment to fostering domestic innovation in Europe and its support for the European Defence Industrial Strategy.
The NG-MIMA project, coordinated by Spanish company Indra Sistemas, aims to develop next-generation European military avionics in the form of an integrated, modular system for aircraft. The AIDA project, led by CR14 – a foundation established by the Estonian Ministry of Defence – focuses on the development and modernization of cyber defense technologies.
“Collaborative research and development programs like those under the European Defense Fund are an incubator for advancing indigenous technologies across the EU to increase defence capabilities and independence in region,” says Mike Vallillo, Vice President, Defense & Space International, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies. “Honeywell is proud to have been selected for our first two projects under the EDF, and we look forward to working closely with the consortium members to innovate on technologies that will support Europe’s future defence requirements”
Honeywell’s involvement in European Defence Fund projects builds on the company’s extensive experience in aerospace, defense, and space-related research initiatives across Europe. Many of these efforts are supported by Honeywell’s advanced engineering center in Brno – the company’s largest technology hub in Europe. The center employs around 1,000 engineers and scientists from over 50 countries, driving innovation across various industries in Europe and beyond.
