| Raytheon ASR-11 Could Help Merge Military and Civilian ATC Systems
Two new Raytheon air traffic management products are undergoing
final tests for Pentagon use. The U.S. Air Force is conducting
live operations with the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement
System and the ASR-11 Digital Airport Surveillance Radar at Eglin
AFB, Florida, heralding the start of Multi-Service Operational
Test & Evaluation (MOT&E) of the new systems. Military
air traffic controllers are using the new systems to control traffic
at Eglin, which is home to the Fort Walton Beach commercial airport
and is neighbor to the USAF special operations support unit at
Hurlburt Field, as well as hosting test aircraft and an operation
F-15 wing. The start of MOT&E is viewed as an important step
towards the fielding of a common civil and military traffic control
system. | ||||||
