Source: fly-corporate.com
 Honeywell has been selected as one of the 15 industrial companies, Air Navigation Service Providers and Airports to join Eurocontrol and the European Commission in the Single European Sky Air Traffic Management (ATM) Research Joint Undertaking (SESAR JU).
The SESAR JU represents the technology pillar of the Single European Sky, an initiative from the European Commission to reform the architecture of the European Air Traffic Management System. Honeywell is contributing with more than €40 million ($56.2 m) of effort to support the definition of key concepts of operation, develop technologies and demonstrate operational scenarios.
Europe's air space is nearing capacity, and the demand for flights is estimated to double by 2030. The new system is expected to be completely operational by 2020 and replace the existing radar-based system, which was developed during World War II. Honeywell is also participating in research and development of air traffic modernisation studies in the United States, Australia and China.
