The FAA and L3Harris are advancing efforts to modernise air traffic surveillance across the United States, supporting a more resilient and efficient National Airspace System.

The programme is focused on upgrading surveillance infrastructure that helps controllers track aircraft more accurately and maintain safe separation across busy and remote airspace. Modern systems are expected to improve reliability, strengthen data-sharing and support future air traffic management needs as traffic levels continue to grow.

For business aviation, surveillance modernisation is particularly important. Corporate, charter and private operators depend on accurate real-time tracking, efficient routing and dependable ATC services across a wide range of airports and mission profiles.

The initiative also reflects the growing importance of technology partnerships in maintaining aviation safety. As aircraft, avionics and airspace operations become more connected, continued investment in surveillance capability will be essential to supporting safe and efficient flight operations.
