By exploring these areas together, we aim to better address evolving requirements for unmanned and autonomous platforms,” said Jongsung Park, president, Corporate Strategy & Investment, LIG Nex1.

“Honeywell’s work with LIG Nex1 represents a disciplined approach to advancing the future of aviation and defense technologies. By exploring opportunities with LIG Nex1, we are evaluating how proven commercial unmanned capabilities can be responsibly adapted to support next-generation defense and autonomous systems,” said Sathesh Ramiah, vice president, Defense & Space, Asia Pacific, Honeywell Aerospace.
