Taking the next key step forward on creating a “brand new” air traffic control system, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the FAA selected Peraton as the prime integrator in the ambitious modernization project. Announced on Thursday, the selection of the integrator comes a little more than three months after the FAA issued a request for solutions for a prime integrator.

The prime integrator will oversee a new approach to modernization, providing central management, coordinating projects, and keeping them on track. Projects include replacing core infrastructure, including telecommunications networks, radar, software, and hardware. Peraton’s work begins immediately, focusing on the continued transition of copper infrastructure and establishing a new digital command center.
