Abstract	This talk reviews significant milestones accomplished at Honeywell’s Aerospace Center of Excellence in Guidance, Navigation and Control, since the 2004 Fall meeting of ACGSC ( # 94). 1) Autonomy – Several programs at Honeywell address intelligent autonomy: a. Micro-Air Vehicle (MAV): The first tethered flights of the MAV (backpackable ducted-fan UAV) were successfully completed at Honeywell’s Albuquerque site on December 22, 2004. Several challenging problems in flight controls and navigation were addressed. SMARTLabs, a facility for prototyping & visualization of new algorithms, is being extensively used for this program. b. Organic Air Vehicle (OAV-2): Phase I effort on this DARPA-sponsored program was kicked-off. The OAV is conceived to be a focused on developing and implementing collision avoidance algorithms using multiple sensor modalities. c. HURT program: (Heterogeneous Urban RSTA Teams) – This DARPA program led by Northrop Grumman was kicked-off early January. HURT will provide on-demand reconnaissance using multiple UAVs in urban environments. Honeywell will provide the planning and control modules for this program. 2) Advanced Control a. 7E7 Fly-by-wire program: Preliminary design reviews are ongoing with Boeing. Honeywell labs is working on the end-to-end system modeling and redundancy analysis. b. Boeing / AFRL CMUS program: Honeywell labs completed the design and analysis of adaptive inner loop algorithms that will be responsive to IVHM signals under the CMUS program. The final technical review was completed last quarter. c. NASA CUPR program: Honeywell labs recently completed our last piloted simulation at NASA Langley under the Controlled Upset Prevention Recovery (CUPR) program. We demonstrated that benefits of reconfigurable control on the CUPRSys system. Results will be presented at the next ACGSC meeting. 3) Multi-vehicle control a. Formation Flying System (FFS) for C-17: Honeywell and Boeing are working on the USAF C-17 Formation Flying System program, to ensure safety, separation and coordination. Honeywell Labs is working on system level analysis and algorithm design of TCAS-ADSB hybrid surveillance for C-17 formations.
