Michael,
Many thanks for sharing this informationโvery interesting. All the best, David Wardell (757) 561-0582 <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <https://wardell.us/url/b5s86> <https://wardell.us/url/s9qvz> From: ATHGroup--- via Mifnet <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2025 12:39 PM To: David Wardell <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: [Mifnet ๐ 72649] High Desert Tracon - Textbook ATC Upgrade Design I pushed for FAA to embrace this ATC equipment replacement solution, which is still valid today. Back in the late 1990s, the High Desert Tracon (E10 on Edwards AFB) needed an upgrade. Below is a link to how the High Desert Tracon rapidly rebuilt itelf into a state of the art ATC facility. In Search of the Future of Air Traffic Control <https://spectrum.ieee.org/in-search-of-the-future-of-air-traffic-control> (Tekla S. Perry, 1997-08-01) <https://spectrum.ieee.org/u/tekla-perry> โThe development process turned out to be a textbook case of how to design an air traffic control system for the '90s.โ โThe baseline system cost $10.8 million; the second software release, an additional $1.7 million; and the third software release, now being implemented,$2.3 million more. These figures include the cost of all hardware, software development <https://spectrum.ieee.org/tag/software-development> , documentation, testing, and training for High Desert Tracon and for two military control facilities on Edwards Air Force Base.โ Michael xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx R.
