Honeywell ramps up defence output through DoW framework

A $500 million investment will increases manufacturing capacity, supporting higher output of defence systems already deployed across U.S. platforms.

Honeywell has signed a supplier framework agreement with the U.S. Department of War to expand production of critical defence technologies, backed by a $500 million multi-year investment in manufacturing capacity.

The agreement positions Honeywell Aerospace among the first Tier 1 suppliers operating under this framework, supporting faster delivery of defence systems at greater scale.

“Honeywell Aerospace is proud to embrace the challenge and meet this urgent need. Our commercial operating system enables us to invest in advanced technologies and manufacture at scale and speed, delivering a substantial and enduring benefit to the customer and taxpayers.” says Jim Currier, president and CEO of Honeywell Aerospace.

The scope of the agreement focuses on increasing output across navigation systems, missile actuation technologies and electronic warfare systems. These systems are already embedded across precision munition platforms, interceptor and tactical missile programmes, and U.S. military aircraft and intelligence applications, making them central to near-term production expansion.
