Honeywell and NXP Semiconductors have announced an expanded partnership at CES 2025 to accelerate the development of next-generation aviation technology, focusing on AI-driven solutions and autonomous flight capabilities.
Honeywell and NXP Semiconductors have unveiled an expanded partnership at CES 2025, aimed at accelerating the development of next-generation aviation technology. This collaboration builds on their previous work in building management systems and now focuses on enhancing aviation products, particularly in the realm of autonomous flight. The partnership will leverage Honeywell's Anthem cockpit system, a cloud-connected platform, alongside NXP's high-performance computing architecture, including the i.MX 8 and S32N processors, to drive advancements in AI-driven aerospace technology.
The companies aim to improve operational efficiency, safety, and unlock value for pilots and operators by developing enhanced software, large area cockpit displays, and autonomy platforms. This includes the integration of NXP's processors into Honeywell Anthem to deliver faster data processing for real-time AI-driven insights, enhancing both in-flight and ground performance. The collaboration will also explore the simplification and streamlining of migrations to newer avionic technologies, extending the lifecycle of critical aviation technologies.
Vertical Aerospace, a leader in electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, will be an early adopter of this technology. The company is currently testing its piloted VX4 prototype aircraft, which features Honeywell Anthem. The partnership aims to enhance the capabilities of the VX4, reducing pilot workloads while increasing situational awareness, thereby supporting the shared vision of transforming how the world moves.
The expanded partnership was showcased at CES 2025, where Honeywell and NXP demonstrated a Honeywell Anthem avionics demonstrator at NXP's Pavilion. This collaboration is seen as a significant step towards the future of aviation, with both companies expressing optimism about the potential to drive innovation and accelerate the path to autonomy in the aerospace industry.
