The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is undertaking a critical modernization effort to upgrade its air traffic control infrastructure. The agency aims to phase out outdated technology, including legacy computer systems running Windows 95 and relying on floppy disk storage. This technological overhaul is essential for enhancing safety, efficiency, and reliability in air traffic management. By replacing these antiquated systems with modern, robust digital platforms, the FAA seeks to improve communication, reduce potential technical failures, and align its technological capabilities with contemporary aviation standards.
