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.
