Honeywell Unveils Next-Generation
Avionics Lab for UAS and UAM
A new research and development lab
built by Honeywell is demonstrating the company’s
technological capabilities in both hardware and software for the unmanned
aerial systems (UAS) and urban air mobility (UAM) markets. The lab, which
resembles a conceptual UAM vehicle flight deck with real hardware, is the first
of its kind to demonstrate actual fly-by-wire controls and vehicle avionics
integrated in a lab setting.
It will be used to develop, test and
demonstrate Honeywell’s industry-leading technology aimed at simplifying the
operations of future vehicles.
“With the influx of new UAM vehicles
taking to the skies in the coming years, we’re seeing a growing need for
operators to test real-world technology in a lab setting. It is essential that
these vehicles are as intuitive as possible and that we have a dedicated space
to ensure our systems make that a reality,” said Stéphane Fymat, Stéphane
Fymat, vice president and general manager, UAS/UAM, Honeywell Aerospace. “With
this new lab we can fully simulate real vehicle functionality with real
hardware for our customers, which will cut back on costly flight test hours and
help them reach their goal of attaining simplified vehicle operations.”
The concept of simplified vehicle
operations, or SVO, combines automation and human factors best practices with
the goal of reducing the amount of knowledge an operator must have to safely
fly an aircraft.
The new lab is located at
Honeywell’s Deer Valley avionics facility in Phoenix, Arizona. Configured to
look like the front end of an aircraft, the new lab has one seat situated in
front of a primary display with three additional large wraparound displays to
view the simulated outside environment around the aircraft. It has hardware
typically seen in a traditional aircraft cockpit and Honeywell’s Compact Fly-by-Wire System acts
as the brains of the operation, with flight routes and actual control laws
built into the software, so the simulated vehicle will operate the same way it
would in the real world.
In this lab, customers can use a
control stick to fly a digital version of their aircraft through a high-resolution
model of a city. Honeywell computers and actuators mounted on nearby
workbenches adapt in real time to pilot inputs, winds and thermals, and
simulated hazards.
Honeywell offers certification
expertise as well as a full line of avionics, propulsion and operational
systems for unmanned aircraft and UAM vehicles.
