Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • This is a foundational procurement that will reshape vendor opportunities, integration scope and operational risk across the U.S. ATC system and ties directly into the FAA’s broader $12.5 billion ATC overhaul.
  • The agency has moved to activate alternative transaction authorities to accelerate modernization, signaling faster, non‑standard contracting paths for this work.
  • The program is advancing toward execution after the FAA narrowed its search to two candidates to serve as project manager, increasing the likelihood of near‑term procurement milestones.
