Government Selects Peraton To Overhaul Air Traffic Control
7.0
The government selected Peraton to oversee a roughly $31.5 billion overhaul of the U.S. air traffic control system, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Thursday. Congress approved a $12.5 billion down payment earlier this year and Duffy said about $20 billion more will be needed to complete upgrades within an aggressive three-year timeline. The contract aims to modernize aging radar and infrastructure ahead of growing traffic, drones and flying taxis.
