The Mark III CMU is designed to provide airlines with a hardware platform with the best growth potential of any system in the market. Not only does it contain significantly more processing power than other systems; it is also designed to support such future capabilities as Gatelink. The software within the Mark III CMU is also designed to provide customers with more control over AOC functional changes. This is accomplished using the GBST reconfiguration tool, which allows airlines to modify the logical processing in addition to such items as MCDU screens and downlink messages.

As the leading provider of Datalink systems, with over 100 customers, Honeywell provides our customers with extensive experience in the area of datalink. This includes our unique ability to be able to offer datalink systems which span every possible aircraft you may operate, including providing ATSU AOC software for the new Airbus aircraft, the datalink functions within the AIMS B-777 aircraft, to CMUs for aircraft ranging form Embraer 135/145s to wide body aircraft such as 747s. In addition, Honeywell’s Mark III CMU software is also being used as the software for our latest integrated avionics platforms such as the EPIC and VIA platforms. This includes providing the datalink function for the VIA platforms to be used on C-5 and KC-10 aircraft. Honeywell also is investing in the future. As an example, the future ATN software to be used in the future CNS/ATM-1 environment, is currently being developed by an international consortium of companions, including Honeywell, the only CMU manufacturer involved in it’s development.

In addition to offering all of today’s datalink avionics, Honeywell also offers ground-based solutions to airlines, ranging from services provided by our Global Data Center (which currently supports over 2,200 datalink-equipped aircraft); to on-site systems such as our AMOSS system. If more information on the Mark III CMU is needed, or on any other information on our Datalink products and service, please contact your Honeywell representative.
