đź’¨ Abstract

The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that building a new air traffic control system by 2028 will cost $31.5 billion, with a $12.5 billion down payment already secured. The plan includes deploying over 25,000 radios, 475 voice switches, and replacing 618 radars. Secretary Sean Duffy highlighted the need for updated software and discussed potential bids from companies, including Elon Musk's Starlink.
