President says administration is finalizing bids for a unified air-traffic control system
Summary
At the White House event the president said the administration is in final bidding to install a single, modern air-traffic control system across towers nationwide, criticizing past projects and promising rapid deployment.
The president used part of the ceremony to describe plans to modernize the U.S. air-traffic control system, criticizing prior patchwork efforts and saying the administration is in final bidding to pick contractors for a unified system. He said the new system would be "the most sophisticated all brand new" and would equip every control tower with the same technology.
He criticized earlier projects as fragmented and said the administration had evaluated systems from multiple countries and vendors, including major contractors, to pick the best components. "We're getting the most sophisticated avionics... every control tower will have the same exact system," he said, and predicted awards in the next two to three weeks.
