The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States is embarking on an ambitious project to modernize its air traffic control system, shedding its dependence on floppy disks and paper strips. The current system, anchored on the outdated Windows 95 operating system, presents considerable safety risks. The FAA is investing heavily in replacing outdated hardware and bolstering cybersecurity measures, yet a comprehensive upgrade presents technical hurdles and will be a protracted process. The Department of Transportation aims to finalize the upgrade within four years, though experts contend that this timeframe may be optimistic. This initiative stands as one of the most crucial infrastructure projects undertaken by the U.S. in recent decades.
