The United States Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have selected Peraton as the Prime Integrator to lead the rollout of a new air traffic control system. The goal is to implement the new system by the end of 2028.
Peraton will guide the modernisation effort, keep it on track and support the FAA as new capabilities and technologies are deployed across the national airspace system. The FAA stated on December 4 that the project includes “replacing core infrastructure including telecommunications networks, radar, software and hardware to support modern air travel”.
Initial priorities include transitioning the system’s remaining copper infrastructure to modern fibre and establishing a new digital command centre.
