Honeywell - Digital Audit

Enterprise Technology Stack & Vendor Relationships

No public evidence identified that Honeywell holds a customer-side licensing, subscription, or integration relationship with Check Point, Wiz, SentinelOne, CyberArk, NICE, Verint, or Claroty; available records surfaced only third-party partnerships among those vendors with one another, not with Honeywell. Honeywell instead functions as a vendor of Israeli-origin OT/ICS cybersecurity technology, having acquired Nextnine Ltd. in June 2017 for a reported $35–40 million ¹ and SCADAfence Ltd. in a deal announced July 2023 ²³⁴. Both acquisitions were folded into Honeywell’s Cybersecurity Center of Excellence in Tel Aviv, which SCADAfence was reported to “expand,” with Nextnine having become Honeywell’s Israel R&D base ²⁴¹. Separately, AFSC states that Honeywell “purchases commercial products from Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer,” though this claim is single-sourced and lacks independently corroborated product categories, values, or dates ⁵.

Surveillance, Biometrics & Retail Technology

No public evidence identified that Honeywell uses Israeli-origin facial-recognition or biometric platforms such as Trigo, BriefCam, AnyVision/Oosto, or Trax internally, or resells such platforms as Israeli-sourced technology. No public evidence identified of Honeywell use of Israeli-origin predictive-policing, sentiment-analysis, social-media-monitoring, or workforce-surveillance tools. No public evidence identified of indirect or bundled third-party delivery of such surveillance technologies to Honeywell.

Cloud Infrastructure, Data Residency & Sovereign Cloud Participation

No public evidence identified that Honeywell operates, leases, or co-locates data-centre infrastructure within Israel. No public evidence identified of Honeywell participation in Project Nimbus or any comparable Israeli government cloud initiative. No public evidence identified that Honeywell provides data-sovereignty or resilience services explicitly marketed to Israeli state or military institutions.

Defence, Intelligence & Security Sector Technology Relationships

In September 2012, Honeywell - through the International Turbine Engine Company joint venture with AIDC/NDIDF - was awarded an approximately $735 million Israeli Ministry of Defense contract to supply F124-GA-200 turbofan engines and aftermarket support for 30 Alenia Aermacchi M-346 “Master” jet trainers, with joint-venture partner TOR structured as an Elbit Systems–IAI joint venture ⁶⁷. In July 2017 (announced May 2018), Honeywell and Israel Aerospace Industries partnered to jointly develop a turnkey GPS anti-jam navigation system for defense applications, combining IAI’s “ADA” anti-jam technology with Honeywell GPS navigation products; the system was described at announcement as already revenue-generating and operational in Israel and other countries ⁸. Between 2007 and 2011, Honeywell participated in an IAI project supplying cockpit avionics systems for the Israeli Air Force’s Boeing 707 tanker fleet and trained IAF pilots on the systems ⁵. AFSC states Honeywell has supplied precision guidance components for the Israeli Air Force’s guided missiles since 2000 ⁵⁹. Defense Industry Daily separately reported Honeywell’s involvement in Black Hawk helicopter overhaul work in coverage that also addressed Israel-related defense procurement ¹⁰. CAAT records three UK export licences for Honeywell to export aircraft components to Israel in 2022–2023, connected to Honeywell’s role supplying systems control components for F-35 production ¹¹. AFSC further states Honeywell applied for and received approval for 30 UK export licences for “military goods” to Israel between 2008 and 2020 ⁵. A Honeywell HG1930 inertial measurement unit, manufactured in 2022 and of the type integrated into JDAM-family guidance kits, was recovered from the site of a 6 June 2024 Israeli strike on the al-Sardi school in Nuseirat, Gaza, according to weapon-fragment analysis reported by the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre ¹². No public evidence identified of Honeywell developing, selling, or licensing offensive cyber capabilities, zero-day exploits, or digital weapons systems for deployment by Israeli state actors.

AI, Algorithmic & Autonomous Systems

No public evidence identified of Honeywell providing AI/ML, computer vision, or autonomous decision-support systems to Israeli state, military, or security bodies; searches on Israeli military AI systems such as “The Gospel” and “Lavender” returned no Honeywell linkage. No public evidence identified that Honeywell’s AI models or platforms have been trained on or given access to civilian population data, intercepted communications, or surveillance-derived datasets originating from Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territory. No public evidence identified of Honeywell providing autonomous target-generation, automated threat-detection, or autonomous tracking systems to Israeli military or security forces.

Technology Ecosystem & R&D Footprint

Honeywell operates an ICS Cyber Security group / Cybersecurity Center of Excellence in Tel Aviv, originating from the 2017 Nextnine acquisition and expanded via the 2023 SCADAfence acquisition, focused on OT/ICS/IoT cybersecurity for industrial and critical-infrastructure/building-management systems ⁵²⁴¹. Nextnine Ltd., based in Petah Tikva, was acquired by Honeywell on 12 June 2017 for a reported $35–40 million and became Honeywell’s Israel R&D base ¹. SCADAfence Ltd., headquartered in Ramat Gan/Tel Aviv and founded by IDF cybersecurity-unit veterans Yoni Shohet and Ofer Shaked (CEO Elad Ben-Meir), was acquired by Honeywell in a deal announced July 2023; the company had roughly 60 employees and had raised about $40 million in total funding ²³⁴¹³. No public evidence identified of Honeywell holding equity or venture-fund stakes in other named Israeli surveillance, cyber, AI, or SIGINT firms such as NSO Group, Cellebrite, Carbyne, AnyVision/Oosto, Wiz, Palantir, Check Point, SentinelOne, Verint, or NICE. No public evidence identified of a Honeywell R&D or engineering partnership with Technion, Hebrew University, or the Weizmann Institute specifically. No public evidence identified of a formal Honeywell Israel accelerator or startup-investment programme distinct from the Nextnine and SCADAfence acquisitions.

Civil Society Scrutiny & Regulatory History

Honeywell is documented by AFSC Investigate ⁵, the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre ¹⁴¹², and BDS Movement ¹⁵ primarily in connection with weapons-component supply - specifically inertial measurement units used in JDAM/GBU-39-type guidance kits - rather than digital or technology-specific issues. In July 2024, the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre reported that Honeywell did not respond to an urgent call by UN experts to cease the transfer of arms to Israel ¹⁴. Honeywell is not named in the searchable text of UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese’s report A/HRC/59/23, “From economy of occupation to economy of genocide” (2 July 2025), nor in a third-party summary and company list of that report ¹⁶¹⁷. Honeywell does not appear in the accessible pages of the Who Profits companies database or in a search of the OHCHR business-and-human-rights database portal, though no primary-source listing was directly retrieved to confirm the absence definitively ¹⁸¹⁹. On 25 June 2024, a Minneapolis-based coalition held an action citing Honeywell’s IMU supply chain and demanding the State of Minnesota divest, with a University of Minnesota Divest Coalition speaker citing approximately $700,000 in university-held Honeywell stock ⁹. French insurer AXA was reported in October 2024 to hold $150.43 million across eleven Israel-arming companies including Honeywell ¹⁵. No public evidence identified of Norway’s KLP pension fund or other major sovereign/pension divestment action specifically naming Honeywell; KLP’s named exclusions in the reviewed coverage are other manufacturers such as Oshkosh, ThyssenKrupp, and Caterpillar ²⁰. The U.S. Department of State concluded a $13 million administrative settlement with Honeywell on 3 May 2021 for Arms Export Control Act/ITAR violations occurring 2011–2018, involving unauthorized transmission of controlled technical drawings to Canada, China, and Mexico; this action was not Israel-specific ²¹²². No public evidence identified of an Israel-specific export-control enforcement action against Honeywell. CAAT documents three approved UK export licences for aircraft components to Israel in 2022–2023 tied to F-35 production, with no denials or investigations noted in the reviewed data ¹¹.
