US defense contractor Honeywell said Monday it is being investigated by US authorities about the manufacture of a defense-related sensor in China used for a US fighter jet.
Honeywell spokesman Scott Sayres, confirming media reports about the Justice Departments investigation of Honeywell sensors used for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, said the company was cooperating fully with the probe.
This is a common electrical sensor found on a circuit card that is widely available in commercial applications around the world, Honeywell spokesman Scott Sayres said in an email to AFP.
Honeywell did produce this component in China for a short period of time, and proactively and voluntarily decided to move production to a US facility in 2012 after consulting with the Department of Defense and our partners, he said.
