Honeywell Aerospace Technologies expects to certify its Surf-A runway incursion prevention product as a software upgrade to its MK V-A enhanced ground proximity warning system by early 2026. The new technology joins Smart X, our expanding portfolio of runway safety products. Smart X includes the Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) and the SmartRunway and SmartLanding software, which took runway situational awareness to the next level when they were introduced 15 years ago.

Those technologies, which are available as a software upgrade to an aircraft’s required enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS), boost flight crew situational awareness during taxi, take-off and landing.

Honeywell is also working toward certification of its Honeywell Anthem integrated flight deck. As Honeywell’s sixth generation and first cloud-connected avionics system, Anthem’s core architecture offers a 50% reduction in size, weight and power compared to its Primus Epic integrated flight deck. Anthem can be customized for most aircraft types.
