Honeywell awarded USD 103 million contract by U.S. Army for new APN-209 radar altimeter system.
Honeywell’s new APN-209 radar altimeter system is a direct replacement for its legacy APN-209, which has been a radar altimeter on U.S. Army aircrafts since its introduction in 1975. This modernized system offers higher reliability and environmental performance, advanced common-core architecture, and flexible integration options.
“We are honored to continue our support of the U.S. Army with the next gen APN-209 radar altimeter system,” said Matt Milas, President of Defense and Space at Honeywell Aerospace Technologies. “The introduction of our next gen APN-209 underscores our decades-long commitment to providing cutting-edge technology that enhances the safety, reliability, and operational capability of military aircraft. Our new advanced radar altimeter system will not only enable us to further support the Army’s mission success, but it will also be a capability we intend to extend, where permissible, to our international customers in the coming years.”
