NATCA Going Down in Flames

What does Boeing or LocMart have that is better or more modern than STARS (which is being deployed now)? Bob, I don't have a specific answer to your question, as I don't claim to be familiar with STARS nor Boeing/LocMart ATC systems. So why do you believe that Boeing and Locmart have already developed more modern ATC systems than the FAA has? I recalled having read that Boeing was proposing ATC management to Britain a few years ago, and figured they had a product to market. It would seem, that perhaps they were looking for someone to fund development. But if not Boeing, which companies are contracting ATC services to Oz, GB, Canada, ...? Is STARS space-based? No. Somehow it seems apparent to me, that ATC of the future will employ satellite based communications and observation equipment in addition to the current terrestrial systems. It just seems a natural, with the exception of solar ejections. STARS uses multiple radar feeds (the typical traditional long-range and terminal radars that we all know and love). It can be upgraded with other sensor feeds as they become available. What is the current attitude of controllers toward STARS? I haven't heard of any more problems like those that occurred during its initial deployment. |

I now join the rest of those that have debated with you Steven. Too tired to care what you think. |
