Event details
The US is embarking on one of the most significant air traffic surveillance modernization programs ever seen. Under a newly awarded contract, RTX and Indra will replace more than 600 ground-based radars with modern, high performance surveillance systems by 2028. This nationwide renewal aims to strengthen safety, improve operational efficiency, and simplify system maintenance by consolidating the many radar configurations currently in use.
The award supports the FAA’s broader Brand-New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS) initiative to modernize the National Airspace System (NAS), replacing aging infrastructure with modern, resilient, and cyber-secure technology.
This panel will explore how this substantial investment is reshaping the country’s surveillance infrastructure, how such a largescale project is handled from a manufacturer point-of-view, and what it means for the future of air traffic management.
