Honeywell To Provide Logistic Support To U.S Navy

Honeywell has won a $181 million follow-on contract to provide logistics support for the U.S navy’s auxiliary power units belonging to the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support. Under the five-year contract, the company will provide auxiliary power units in support of the F/A-18-A-G (including F/A-18 Australian F/G models), P-3 and C-2 models, the F/A-18 main fuel controls and the p-3 engine-driven compressor. “Honeywell has a long-standing history of logistics support with NAVSUP, and we’ve shown that our initiatives have improved reliability and availability of aircraft for the Navy, while lowering maintenance costs by over $50 million,” said Brian Sill, vice president of Defense Americas Aftermarket, Defense & Space, Honeywell Aerospace. The company reaped the cost savings through on-time delivery of products to the field; increasing time on wing for all products; improving overall platform availability; eliminating certain aircraft maintenance tasks because of improved service implementation and reliability; and through other improvements, it said.
