US Supplier Develops Export Control Free Technologies for NATO Allies
Honeywell Aerospace is expanding its development of ITAR-free defense products for Europe, driven by increasing demand from NATO allies seeking to avoid US export controls. The company is set to announce a new ITAR-free product at the Farnborough Airshow and has tasked 1,000 engineers in Poland and the Czech Republic to design non-ITAR technologies. This move comes as European defense spending rises and countries seek to reduce their reliance on US-controlled components. The development was reported by Reuters.
