October 8, 2011 — At a media briefing today the Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) and Honeywell presented the Honeywell Bendix Trophy for Aviation Safety to the AWARE Team, a collaboration between the National Air Transport System (NATS) and Airbox Aerospace. AWARE is a new type of global navigation satellite system-base navigation aid designed for general aviation in order to prevent inadvertent entry into controlled airspace. It produces alerts when it predicts that this airspace will be preached. "This is the sort of innovation that will address a desperate need in general aviation in the UK," commented William R. Voss, President and CEO of the Flight Safety Foundation. "It will provide a new tool for pilots so that they can safely avoid restricted airspace with minimal user input. The Bendix Trophy is our small way to recognize this achievement."
