This hearing will review the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) air traffic control modernization plan, with a focus on the progress of the new air traffic control system following the selection of Peraton as the Prime Integrator, which functions as the projectmanager.
The hearing will also explore how the record $12.5 billion included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will support the implementation of the modernization plan.
Upon announcing the hearing, Sen. Moran said:
"Our air traffic control system is in need of modernization, and Congress made a major investment in improving the system earlier this year and is working to continue investing in this effort through annual appropriations. I look forward to hearing from Administrator Bedford on next steps to implement a new air traffic control system, including the role of the recently announced Prime Integrator Peraton, additional resources needed and the current state of aviation safety."
Sen. Cruz said:
"In the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Congressional Republicans provided the FAA a historic $12.5 billion investment to modernize an aging air traffic control system. This funding will ensure the FAA is equipped to invest in the latest telecommunications infrastructure, prevent outages, and upgrade radar systems that date back to the 1960s. Modernizing air traffic control is essential for keeping American skies safe; Secretary Duffy has already made quick progress - converting one-third of copper wire to more modern fiber, satellite, and wireless telecommunications infrastructure."

* Administrator Bryan Bedford, Federal Aviation Administration
