Honeywell Aerospace has been selected as an awardee under the US Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) programme, a multiple-award contract with a total ceiling value of USD1.5 billion.
The award was made to EMS Defense Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell Aerospace, under the department’s indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) programme. It enables the company to supply hardware, software and related services to counter threats posed by unmanned aircraft systems.
Under Track 1, Honeywell will be eligible to provide C-UAS equipment, training, maintenance and support services as DHS issues task orders throughout the contract’s duration. Its portfolio includes sensing technologies and integrated software platforms designed to help government agencies detect, identify and track aerial threats.
Honeywell said the award positions it to support DHS and other federal stakeholders in protecting personnel, facilities and critical infrastructure as drone threats evolve.
