Smarter by Design Autonomy for Every Mission

From eVTOLs to UAVs, discover how autonomy is taking flight.

See. Think. Act. Communicate.

Modern aircraft are more automated than ever, but autonomy takes things further by enabling systems to sense, analyze, respond and stay connected with minimal human input.

At Honeywell, we describe this as See. Think. Act. Communicate. These four pillars define how autonomous systems operate across advanced air mobility platforms; each is driven by scalable, proven technologies designed to support safe, efficient operations.

See
Sensors, radar and cameras deliver real-time situational awareness.

Think
AI-powered systems like Honeywell Anthem interpret data and recommend actions.

Act
Fly-by-Wire enables stable, precise responses
for SVO.

Communicate
Lightweight connectivity solutions ensure resilient two-way links.

From flight automation to resilient communication, these capabilities help AAM developers simplify the skies and build confidence in the next era of flight.

Key Systems Enabling Autonomy

From the cockpit to the ground, Honeywell’s scalable technologies support every layer of autonomous and semi-autonomous flight across Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) platforms.

Ground Control

Advanced ground control stations provide intuitive, remote supervision for eVTOL and unmanned aircraft using precision navigation and detect-and-avoid tech.

Solutions that Drive Autonomy

Explore solutions for every stage of autonomous flight - from enhanced situational awareness to real-time decision-making.

“Today, many routine tasks are automated so pilots can concentrate on situational awareness, critical decision-making and emergency response. As trust for autonomous systems grows, greater levels of autonomy will reduce the frequency of human errors, which are the cause or a factor in up to 80% of aircraft accidents and close calls.”
