Honeywell has expanded its JetWave product family of
broadband satcom solutions with JetWave MCX, a new solution
featuring technical improvements specifically designed for
military and governmental aircraft.
JetWave MCX will provide improved situational
awareness throughout an airborne mission, secure communications
and the capability to connect to various Ka-band satcom networks
depending on the needs of the mission.
It is specifically designed for military or
government aircraft used for surveillance, combat or humanitarian
missions like search and rescue operations.
“In the past, when the warfighter’s mission has
required high-bandwidth connectivity, their choices were limited
to proprietary hardware terminals that connect to a vendor-locked
network,” said Steven Williams, vice president, Defense Americas,
Honeywell Aerospace. “JetWave MCX provides operators with
broadband, multi-network capability and resiliency that ensures
the warfighter has high-speed connectivity available anytime
around the globe.”
JetWave MCX currently delivers critical technology
to Sierra Nevada Corporation’s (SNC) advanced Airborne Mission
Networking (AbMN) secure communications suite.
SNC has equipped Air Force Special Operations Command’s MC-130J
Commando II aircraft with Honeywell’s JetWave MCX as part of the
AbMN suite for ongoing system performance evaluation. The AbMN
suite improves interoperability between special operations
platforms as well as other U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine and
coalition platforms.
“There are already more than 2,000 JetWave systems
being used across business aviation, air transport and defense,”
said John Peterson, vice president and general manager, Software
and Services, Honeywell Aerospace. “With the release of JetWave
MCX, we’ve built upon this success and further developed the
technology to create a more customized solution that addresses the
unique needs of military and defense customers.”
