'Everyone who touches a flight is able to get information that matters to them when they need it,' said Vipul Gupta, vice president and general manager, Avionics, Honeywell Aerospace. An aircraft doesn't even need to be powered on for pilots and maintainers to see the information they might need prior to launching a flight. The pilot used to be required to integrate all this critical incoming information and then provide notifications to numerous support personnel prior to, during and after completing a flight.Īs the world's first always-on, cloud-connected avionics, Honeywell Anthem generates and transfers data from ground-based servers so those involved in a flight's operations have the information they always need. Additionally, individual support systems (fuel, maintenance, catering, etc.) have also been disjointed, forcing pilots to interface with multiple third-party apps, websites and businesses both pre-flight and post-flight. Honeywell Anthem allows for this data transfer without needing to be physically near the aircraft. Historically, mechanics and pilots had to be on board aircraft with wired connections to transfer critical data like maintenance status and flight plans. Enabling increasing levels of autonomy - whether it's automating manual tasks for single-pilot operation or automating more complex processes to reduce workload across all pilots, maintainers and other service providers in a large fleet - depends heavily on improving connectivity across aircraft systems. Honeywell Anthem supports growing levels of aircraft autonomy, leading to complete autonomous capabilities in the future as regulations allow.

Second, it enables the disjointed systems that support an aircraft to work together more seamlessly to deliver critical information to pilots. First, it creates ways for increasingly complex aircraft to function with more autonomy, relieving stress on pilots and promoting safety and efficiency. Honeywell Anthem is designed to solve two problems facing the aviation industry. 'In the same way we moved from flip phones to smartphones, Honeywell Anthem will transform the pilot experience with customizable controls operated quickly and easily with a few swipes of the finger.' 'Honeywell is not just launching a new flight deck today - we are changing the way pilots operate aircraft and creating a more intuitive experience than ever,' said Mike Madsen, president and CEO, Honeywell Aerospace.
