About avionics and navigation technology
Halo's entries sit at component level, not system level. Five of the eight are detectors: three infrared imagers and two pressure sensors rated to 500 and 1500 degrees Celsius. One addresses position directly, a planar multi-band GPS antenna covering the L1, L2 and L5 bands. None of them is a complete navigation system. On Halo it spans three groups: infrared and short-wave imaging, high-temperature pressure sensing, and navigation and radio-frequency hardware.
Stage of development. Work on avionics and navigation technology on Halo is split between university programs and companies. 46% of the solutions are in market. Co-development and licensing are the usual partnering routes, and about 40% of the solutions that state terms offer equity investment.
Three trends in avionics solutions on Halo
Sensing bought at component level. Aerospace teams are sourcing the detector before the system. Three entries are infrared imagers built on new material stacks: bismuth oxyselenide deposited on silicon at CMOS-compatible temperatures (Atomix Inc), GaSb photodetectors grown by MBE on lattice-matched substrates (ZIPTON TECH LLC), and superfluorescent microparticles integrated with CMOS readout (North Carolina State University).
Reception and timing under the navigation stack. Navigation accuracy starts at the antenna and the clock, and both are being sourced separately from the receiver. One entry is a planar multi-band GPS antenna covering the L1, L2 and L5 bands, built on a metamaterial electromagnetic bandgap structure (University of Alberta). Another is an ultra-stable MEMS frequency reference for holding a timebase across temperature (SYNGI).
Pressure sensing for hot sections. Engine and exhaust measurement is pushing sensor materials past what silicon carbide handles. Berlin University of Applied Sciences has two entries: an AlN-compound sensor for environments to 500 degrees Celsius, and a floating-membrane SOI element rated to 1500 degrees Celsius that keeps the system sealed.

Frequently asked questions
What are avionics solutions?
Avionics is the electronics an aircraft carries: the receivers and inertial sensors that tell it where it is, the detectors that let it see, and the timing hardware everything else runs on. Aircraft manufacturers, defense primes and their tier-one suppliers are the buyers. On Halo the work leans toward infrared and short-wave imaging, high-temperature pressure sensing, and navigation and radio-frequency hardware.
