PRNewswire/ -- Aviation Week & Space Technology has named the recipients of its seventh annual Technology Innovation Awards. The winners are drawn from AW&ST's review of new products in its monthly Aerospace Products & Services section. A panel of seven judges from the private sector and military services chose the most deserving for the awards, which will be presented at Aviation Week's Aerospace & Defense Programs and Productivity Conference, October 28 in Arlington, TX.

This year's winners are: * Arc Second's "indoor GPS" system that uses infrared light for aerospace metrology applications. * Honeywell 's CAT-scan-like inspection system for business jets. * Lockheed Martin Space & Strategic Missiles' near-zero-erosion rocket nozzle for launchers. * Southwest Research Institute, which developed the first facility for developing and testing microelectromechanical systems in vacuum conditions.

"Innovation has driven the aerospace industry since the Wright Brothers flew the first powered flight almost 100 years ago," said Aviation Week Executive Vice President/Publisher Kenneth E. Gazzola. "The technologies selected as the recipients of Aviation Week's Technology Innovation Awards are likely to pay dividends for years to come in new capabilities and improved efficiencies for aerospace manufacturing, aircraft maintenance and space exploration."
