Honeywell and LIG Nex1 have announced that they have signed a memorandum of understanding to expand collaboration on the development of defence vehicles and aircraft.
The signing of the MOU represents both companies’ exploration and development for solutions in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCSV) and Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA).
The MOU essentially outlines the framework of how Honeywell’s unmanned technology can effectively work in tandem with LIG Nex1’s advanced precision electronic systems across unmanned platforms in the air, land and maritime domain.
“This framework provides an opportunity to evaluate how our experience in advanced defence systems can be aligned with Honeywell’s unmanned and navigation technologies,” said Park Jong-sung, corporate strategy and investment president at LIG Nex1.
“By exploring these areas together, we aim to better address evolving requirements for unmanned and autonomous platforms.”
By establishing a joint understanding and collaborative partnership, both companies are positioning themselves to be a combined force as unmanned systems continue to dominate the defence sphere.
Both companies additionally emphasised the opportunity to analyse changing market needs and identify potential pathways in defence in areas such as electromagnetic defence and cyber security.
“Honeywell’s work with LIG Nex1 represents a disciplined approach to advancing the future of aviation and defence technologies,” said Sathesh Ramiah, defence and space vice president for Honeywell, Asia-Pacific.
“By exploring opportunities with LIG Nex1, we are evaluating how proven commercial unmanned capabilities can be responsibly adapted to support next-generation defence and autonomous systems.”
