Honeywell eyes Pentagon space contracts with CAES acquisition

NASDAQ:HON   Honeywell International Inc.
Honeywell International Inc. has announced its acquisition of the defence electronics business of CAES for 1.9 billion USD, a strategic move aimed at securing a foothold in the rapidly growing sector of military space equipment. This acquisition excludes the division of CAES that handles satellite ground terminals but includes critical electromagnetic protection technology for radio frequency equipment.

This technology positions Honeywell to offer advanced communication systems for space, sea, air, and land applications, which are resistant to interference. With Honeywell's revenues nearing 37 billion USD last year, the acquisition is not just about expanding business size but strategically acquiring technology that will enable Honeywell to compete for lucrative military contracts in the coming years.
