Honeywell is giving pilots alternatives to GNSS navigation systems, which can get blocked or jammed.

Honeywell Aerospace recently launched its Alternative Navigation Architecture (HANA) software solution, designed to ensure resilient navigation in environments where satellite signals may be spoofed, jammed, or inaccessible. Although the group has been developing methods to support non-GPS navigation for around a decade, the latest technology responds to a growing threat to aviation safety and security.

“What we’re seeing in terms of the kind of conflict and the war going on in Eastern Europe is the need for alternate navigation,” explained Mike Vallillo, Honeywell Aerospace’s international v-p of defense and space, during a recent media visit to the company’s research and technology center at Brno in the Czech Republic.
