Honeywell Launches its Next-Generation Resilient EGI

Honeywell is proud to announce the launch of our next-generation Resilient Embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation System (EGI), designed to meet U.S. Government mandates for Greater Power Competition and provide solutions for the threats of today and tomorrow. The Embedded GPS/INS (EGI) is a navigation system that integrates GPS and inertial navigation to provide accurate position, velocity, and timing information for various applications. The investment Honeywell is making in this next generation EGI builds on the legacy of Honeywell’s H-764 and FALCN offerings, making it significantly more resilient to meet military needs in jammed and spoofed environments.

Revolutionizing Aircraft Navigation

The Honeywell resilient EGI is a groundbreaking advancement in aircraft navigation, incorporating M-code, an atomic clock, and having open architecture compliance to enable mission critical flexibility with alternative forms of Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) while maintaining the stringent certification pedigree currently required by airworthiness authorities around the world.

Addressing Modern Threats

GPS changed the game in navigation when it was introduced in the mid-1990s. However, in today’s threat environment, experts have concluded GPS should not be relied on as the sole source for navigation. Honeywell's next-generation EGI addresses the jamming and spoofing challenge by integrating an atomic clock and various alternative PNT sources such as vision navigation, celestial navigation, magnetic navigation, and multi-constellation signals to navigate around GPS threats.

Honeywell Integrity Suite

The Integrity Suite allows for quick integration and rapid changes, permitting platforms to quickly integrate new NAVWAR capabilities and “fight tonight” in a near-peer environment. This architecture partitions the system so the warfighter can maintain a certified safety-critical system and be more adaptable to critical mission needs.

Proven Performance

The Honeywell Resilient EGI brings confidence that the GPS used in the navigation solutions is from authentic sources while maintaining the H764 and FALCN form factors. Enemy threats to GPS signals are increasing, and their effects are being felt around the world today. The Honeywell system has been proven in simulation, rigorous testing, and in the field to detect and mitigate GPS threats without affecting the navigation solution. Honeywell is able to determine when GPS is good again and readmit it back into the solution once it has been deemed safe to do so.

A Legacy of Excellence

Honeywell has produced more EGIs and fielded them on more platforms than any other manufacturer. Our 60,000 EGIs built since 1992 have proven to be certifiable to stringent civil and military standards for airworthiness while providing performance in the most demanding environments. This next generation EGI builds on this legacy, offering operators a capable, resilient, solution for aircraft navigation.

Looking Ahead

Engineering units of the next generation EGI will be available in early 2026, with certifiable units available soon thereafter.
