As for Honeywell, it's most probably for avionics. Honeywell is considered one of the gold standard when it comes to avionics. From small Inertial Navigation System for UAVs to complete autopilot suit for planes, they've their expertise. So this is what they may be bringing on the table.

As for BAe, it's a British company meaning the laws are not as stringent as those in USA, where you must adhere to ITAR regulations even for the transfer of a .jpg file via mail.
So why not have a JV with them when it's so easy

BAe that’s registered in US has to follow US rules, they can’t even export to British without US consent. so it’s technically two branches or separate companies I think or something like that, they registered few years ago to participate in US contract. The contract was such that the company should be registered in US. there is an article floating around about it.

The US one is a subsidiary of the UK one, so it would only have those things that BAe is willing to "lock in" US regulations not those that they intend to export.

Almost all the R&D and hi-tech stuff are managed in UK; be in nuclear warhead or Tempest 6th gen fighter.

As long as a small firm is not a threat or is willing to sign a Non-Compete Clause (NCC) there's no harm selling something to them or even better, using them as an affiliate marketing.

As for the profit sharing model, there's no industry standard that you must do this. Various firms uses what they wish.
But ya, in most cases it uses the same model you mentioned...which is kind of de facto in patent and IPR world. You pay a small amount (couple of millions) to initiate the JV/ToT/Patent and then a % royalty on each piece sold.

BAE's British roots sprout trusted American faces in U.S. defence landscape

Around the United States, Britain's BAE Systems <BAES.L> is widely seen as just another powerful U.S. defence contractor, unlike European aerospace group EADS <EAD.PA>, which is always firmly identified by its French, German and Spanish roots.

Hehehe...it's perhaps those rare moments when a foreign country, quite well regarded from military perspective does a screw-up in a thing that's exclusively our field of expertise

It's expensive; almost $4.3 billion excluding the set-up cost. High cost per round. The efficacy of a system designed to counter Iranian I/MRBM against a Russian MIRV equipped ICBM threat. Or simply the fact of US not vetoing this deal despite their THAAD losing.

It seems like Germany is also procuring jetpacks for its soldiers
