Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Peraton will manage delivery of the BNATCS under the FAA’s multi‑billion‑dollar modernisation programme, targeting end‑2028 implementation; full‑scale work remains contingent on Congress approving an additional $9–$20B (funding gate).
  • The appointment dovetails with the FAA’s shift to a modular ‘apps’ four‑layer architecture to accelerate fielding and responds to airlines’ calls for demonstrable early “quick wins” as modernization is rolled out.
