Honeywell gets GPS contract

The U.S. Department of Defense awarded Honeywell International Inc. a contract worth nearly $16.4 million to produce 203 GPS inertial navigation systems for the U.S. Army and Air Force.

Work will be performed at Honeywell's defense and space electronic systems division based in Clearwater. The new units will be sent to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, the DOD stated in a release.

The contract is a modification to $6.6 million awarded by the department in May for 81 units going to the Army.
