Ontic, a manufacturer of OEM-licensed parts for legacy aircraft, has signed three new license agreements with Honeywell to deliver radar, navigation, and communications products. The systems apply to a range of aircraft, including helicopters, business jets, and single-engine aircraft.
Under the agreements, Gloucestershire, UK-based Ontic (Booth C4636) will produce&nbsp;a variety of Honeywell products, including the P440/660/880 Primus weather radar system, which detects hazardous weather like turbulence and wind shear. The company is also adding the former Bendix/King’s Gold Crown product line and a range of heat exchangers, valves, actuators, and oil coolers.
“Ontic has taken on a number of exclusive license agreements to support existing radar and NAV/COM technology for the aerospace market, positioning the company as a key OEM for existing radar technology,” said Gareth Blackbird, Ontic v-p and CCO. “All three licenses are a testament to our relationship with Honeywell and will enable Ontic to provide for customers throughout the military and commercial global markets.”&nbsp;
Ontic will deliver these latest licenses, along with a range of complementary products to the aftermarket, through its facilities in the U.S., the UK, and Singapore.&nbsp;It&nbsp;is also looking at setting up a radar center of excellence in Chatsworth, California.&nbsp;
