US Air Traffic Control Network Gets Major Upgrade Amid Safety Concerns
The US Federal Aviation Administration has selected RTX and Indra to replace hundreds of aging radar systems, a major step in a long-delayed modernization effort. The existing radar network, which dates back to the 1980s, has become expensive to support and difficult to repair, with some components no longer manufactured. The replacements are expected to be installed by summer 2028, as part of a broader effort to complete a sweeping air traffic control overhaul by the end of 2028. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
