Airvolute at JamFest: Pioneering GNSS-Denied Resilience with Honeywell Aerospace

The Airvolute senior leadership and engineering teams are currently on the ground at JamFest, the premier industry event hosted by Honeywell Aerospace dedicated to testing and advancing navigation resilience in contested environments.

In electronic warfare scenarios where GPS and GNSS signals are actively jammed or spoofed, traditional autopilot platforms fail. JamFest provides the ultimate live-testing sandbox, and Airvolute is utilizing this event to showcase a groundbreaking, mission-ready hardware integration designed for maximum survivability: Honeywell ResNav meeting Airvolute DroneCore.

Redefining Navigational Resilience at the Edge

During the live exercises, our team is demonstrating how Airvolute’s unmanned aircraft systems seamlessly handle real-world electronic interference by leveraging a deeply coupled hardware and software stack.

• The Honeywell ResNav Integration: Known for its robust, military-grade inertial and alternative navigation capabilities, Honeywell’s ResNav sensor suite serves as the ultimate defensive layer against GPS-denied environments.

• Powered by DroneCore Autopilots: Our modular, high-compute DCS 2 architecture acts as the central hub, processing high-frequency data streams from the ResNav unit alongside our native visual inertial odometry (VIO) algorithms.

• The Software Ecosystem: Driven by DroneCore.OS, the system can dynamically switch navigation dependencies in milliseconds the moment a GNSS anomaly or jamming signal is detected, maintaining strict trajectory control without human intervention.

Why This Partnership Matters for Defense and Enterprise UAS

For defense contractors and tactical drone developers, the integration displayed at JamFest represents a massive leap forward in open-architecture capability. By combining Honeywell’s world-class aerospace navigation technology with Airvolute’s high-performance edge-computing autopilots, we are eliminating proprietary silos.

The live data gathered this week proves that software-defined, MOSA-compliant unmanned aircraft can operate reliably in the most hostile electronic environments on earth.

Stay tuned for our full post-event breakdown, where we will share high-level insights and engineering takeaways from the field.
