Hi Rob, I have a role in this, as I'm currently doing some aviation communications consulting work. I don't want to reveal the client just yet - that will perhaps become clear fairly soon. What I'm trying to do is start and grow a conversation with friends, colleagues, and every stakeholder I can reach about this particular need within the whole ATC modernization effort and advocate for its development. The current way we're doing things is of course highly siloed, inefficient, prohibitively expensive, and cannot expand to accommodate the growth in our airspace.
A new single automation platform would benefit all users, including airports, pilots, controllers, new entrants, airlines and others. -Doug On Wed, Nov 5, 2025 at 3:39 PM Robert Mark <[email protected]> wrote: > I can't tell exactly who is the voice behind this post, Doug.
