Honeywell Selected to Provide FAA Satellite-Based Navigation Technology.Business Editors MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2003 Contract Options Could Exceed $350 Million Over Life of the Program; Initial Contract Totals $16.7 Million Honeywell (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :HON) announced today it has been selected by the Federal Aviation Administration Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), component of the U.S. Department of Transportation that sets standards for the air-worthiness of all civilian aircraft, inspects and licenses them, and regulates civilian and military air traffic through its air traffic control (FAA) to provide development, manufacturing, airport installation, training and support for the new satellite-based precision approach and landing system known as the Local Area Augmentation System The Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) is an all-weather aircraft landing system based on real-time differential correction of the GPS signal. Local reference receivers send data to a central location at the airport. (LAAS). With contract options, the program could exceed $350 million over the life of the program; the initial value of the contract is $16.7 million. "Honeywell's satellite-based navigation technology will enable the FAA's LAAS program to utilize airspace more efficiently, plus provide new precision approach procedures," said John Oelschlaeger, Director of Honeywell's Satellite Landing Systems Business. "This will result in improved air travel safety and reduced flight delays for the flying public, as well as increased operational capacity for airports." Traditional navigation aids provide coverage for single runway ends only and sometimes have installation and frequency availability constraints. LAAS ground stations alleviate these constraints and a single LAAS can provide coverage for all runway ends at most airports where installed. Honeywell will finalize the system integrity design before initiating the build, installation and support of 10 LAAS ground facilities at nine FAA test centers and major airports across North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. .
