What needs to be modernized?
- DannyBee 10y agoATC. https://www.oig.dot.gov/sites/default/files/WEB_ATC_Mod_4-14-08_Final.pdf https://www.oig.dot.gov/sites/default/files/WEB_ATC_Mod_4-14... Basically, FAA's nextgen project has been some big dig level crap (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dig https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dig for those not familiar) They've been trying to figure this out for almost 3 decades (though publicly, the current incarnation only started to have a joint planning office in 2003, and so they try to pretend that's when they started). They currently don't expect to finish until 2030. AFAIK it'll have been ~50 years for a technology modernization project. (I actually don't know all the details, so if someone wants to come along and say "it's not that bad", great!)
