• Honeywell expands European defense navigation business with Civitanavi systems.
• Civitanavi Systems provides inertial navigation technology for European defense programs.
• Inertial systems enable navigation without satellite signals.
• European countries prioritize domestically manufactured defense technology.

Honeywell's expansion may indicate growing demand for GPS-independent navigation solutions in European defense markets. The emphasis on domestically manufactured technology suggests a shift in procurement priorities, which could benefit EU-based suppliers and create new market opportunities for inertial navigation systems.
