May 26, 2025 | HoneywellEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Honeywell announced the expansion of its support for Japan’s defense modernization efforts with the delivery of advanced aerospace systems for two key helicopter programs. These latest awards expand Honeywell’s footprint in Japan’s defense sector and reinforce the company’s commitment to mission readiness and long-term operational performance.
As the Japan Ministry of Defense enhances its airborne defense capabilities, Honeywell plays a critical role in equipping both new and legacy platforms with next-generation solutions. The company provides a suite of advanced systems that improve aircraft power, navigation, safety and situational awareness, enabling greater reliability and performance in dynamic mission environments.
For an ongoing upgrade of Japan’s established H60 Fleet, Honeywell will deliver several key technologies this year, including the 36-150 auxiliary power unit (APU), RDR-7000 weather radar system, and introduce new-generation versions of the APN-209 radar altimeter, air turbine starter (ATS), embedded M-code GPS/INS (EGI), 60kVA generator, and LED lighting. These components replace aging systems and provide enhanced resilience, maintainability, and mission effectiveness.
In addition, Honeywell has been selected to support Japan’s new CH47F heavy-lift helicopter program with a broad scope of content, including the T55-714A engine, 36-150 APU,45kVA APU generator, M-code EGI, RDR-7000 radar, Next Gen. APN-209 altimeter, and LED searchlight. These systems deliver robust power and avionics capability to support critical operations ranging from tactical transport to humanitarian response.
“These awards mark a continued deepening of our relationship with Japan’s defense forces and underscore Honeywell’s role as a trusted provider of advanced aerospace technologies,” said Matt Milas, President, Defense and Space, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies. “Our solutions are designed to enhance the safety, capability, and mission success of military helicopter operations, and we are proud to contribute to the next chapter of Japan’s defense modernization.”
With decades of experience delivering mission-critical systems to militaries around the world, Honeywell continues to develop integrated, future-ready technologies that meet the evolving needs of global defense operators, helping ensure they stay ahead in an increasingly complex and connected world.
