Aerospace parts manufacturer Ontic has secured a hat-trick of deals with US tech giant Honeywell.
The Gloucestershire-based business, which supplies defence and commercial organisations, will deliver a range of radar system and navigation and communication product lines after signing three new licensing agreements.
The systems will be used in aircraft including business jets, single-engine aircraft and helicopters. Among them will be the Primus system, which is used to detect hazardous weather including turbulence.
Ontic will deliver the work at its UK base in Staverton, as well as its facilities in Singapore, and the US where it said it would look to establish a radar centre of excellence in Chatsworth, California.
Vice president and chief commercial officer Gareth Blackbird said: “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.
“All three licenses are testament to our relationship with Honeywell, and will enable Ontic to provide for customers throughout the military and commercial global markets.”
Vipul Gupta, vice president and general manager of avionics at Honeywell’s aerospace division, added: “We have a long-standing relationship with Ontic and they have supported us through various license agreements like this over the years.
“These licensing agreements reinforce the strong partnership we have built, and we are confident they will provide excellent value to our customers.”
The new deals come after Ontic heralded 2022 as a “record-breaking” year for the firm, during which it reached 13 exclusive licensing agreements.
