Replacement of outdated 1980s radar tech is paid for by the One Big Beautiful Bill
U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Bryan Bedford today announced the FAA will replace the nation’s aging radar system. Replacing this network of ground-based radars, which are crucial for detecting and tracking aircraft, will enhance the safety and efficiency of our skies.
The new radar contracts, which are part of President Trump and Secretary Duffy’s brand-new air traffic control initiative, were awarded to RTX and Indra. The contract will be paid for by the One Big Beautiful Bill.
