💨 Abstract

On May 9, 2025, Newark, New Jersey, airport's radar system went down for 90 seconds, the second such outage in two weeks. The radar, managed from Philadelphia, previously caused extensive flight delays on April 28. In response, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is installing new fiber optic cables to enhance signal transmission between Philadelphia and New York facilities. The second outage further emphasizes the need for improved infrastructure.
