From Automation to Autonomy
Modern aircraft have more automation than ever, but achieving autonomy is the key to giving passengers and crew smarter, faster and safer flights.
Honeywell products, including Honeywell Anthem and EGPWS, lead the industry in providing a path to a truly autonomous future for aviation.
Honeywell delivers advanced systems that go beyond automation, enabling business aviation aircraft to see, think, act and communicate with minimal human input. From the flight deck to predictive maintenance, we’re helping operators modernize legacy fleets and accelerate next-gen development with autonomy-first avionics, sensors and AI-powered software.
We Were There: Honeywell & Autonomy
For more than 100 years, Honeywell has led the way in autonomous flight, from the first autopilot to today’s connected cockpits.
Sperry Autopilot
In 1914, Lawrence Sperry’s autopilot demonstration pioneered hands-free flight and laid the foundation for modern flight control systems in ATR-class aircraft.
EGPWS
The Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS), invented by Honeywell engineer Don Bateman, has helped virtually eliminate controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) accidents in commercial aviation.
Honeywell Anthem
Honeywell Anthem is a connected flight deck designed to reduce pilot workload and enhance situational awareness in business aviation. Its scalable design fits both new and retrofit utilization.
Solutions that Drive Autonomy
Explore solutions for every stage of autonomous flight - from enhanced situational awareness to real-time decision-making.
“Advanced processors and software will enable us to use data in new ways to make autonomous decisions and reduce the workload on human pilots. Autonomous systems can process data faster and make decisions quicker than humans. Enormous volumes of data are readily available from advanced navigation sensors like gyroscopes and accelerometers, which measure the aircraft’s position, direction and speed.”
