Precision Aviation Group Australia (PAG) has established an exclusive distribution agreement with Honeywell Aerospace Technologies for the IntuVue RDR-7000 weather radar system targeted specifically for AW139 commercial helicopters. Effective until March 31, 2028, the agreement positions PAG as the authorized distributor providing sales and support services to Honeywell’s channel partners throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
The arrangement focuses on expanding market access to Honeywell’s weather radar technology in a region characterized by challenging meteorological conditions frequently impacting rotorcraft operations. Under the terms of the agreement, PAG will leverage its regional presence to facilitate integration of the RDR-7000 into AW139 fleets operating in diverse environments across Asia-Pacific.
“The RDR-7000’s automated hazard detection and ease of integration make it a smart choice for both retrofit and forward-fit applications," said Jordan Webber, v-p of component services for PAG. "We’re excited to support our customers in upgrading their situational awareness and overall mission safety.”
The RDR-7000 features fully automated 3D volumetric scanning capabilities and is designed to enhance situational awareness through predictive hazard identification, offering operators improved detection of weather phenomena that could impact flight safety.
According to Honeywell, the system’s architecture makes it suitable for retrofit installations on existing aircraft and forward-fit integration into new helicopter deliveries. The radar provides comprehensive volumetric scanning that delivers three-dimensional weather mapping, enabling flight crews to visualize weather patterns at various altitudes simultaneously.
