FAA plans unified air traffic control system with Leidos Common Automation Platform
Based on · First reported
Sources
- The Federal Aviation Administration is moving to merge its two primary air traffic control systems into a single Common Automation Platform, and Leidos has created the Leidos Common Automation Platform (L-CAP) to deliver this capability.
- L-CAP combines the functionality of the En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) and Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) into a modern architecture that can support oceanic control and extend common functionality across most U.S.-controlled airspace, aiming to lower controllers' cognitive load through better airspace visibility, seamless data sharing and continuous adaptability, while also allowing the FAA to add or replace purpose‑built capabilities more easily for advanced air mobility and other new entrants.
