Under a recently awarded $7.5 million U.S. Navy contract, Honeywell's micro air vehicle (MAV) is being used in Iraq by the U.S. multiservice Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) group in a far more specialized role than envisioned by its original sponsor, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
Service entry of SpaceShipTwo (SS2), the planned commercial space tourism vehicle being developed by the joint Scaled Composites-Virgin Group's Spaceship Company, could be further delayed following the deadly July 26 explosion that ripped apart rocket engine components during a test at Scaled's headquarters in Mojave, Calif.
The vehicle is controlled autonomously by the deeply integrated guidance and navigation unit (Dignu), which was developed by Honeywell. Dignu is a combined and miniaturized inertial measurement and flight management unit. Sensor imagery is transmitted back via a video link, while a command-and-control link enables the ground-based operator to move the vehicle or return it to a pre-programmed course.
