The Government Accountability Office found 51 of the FAA's 138 air traffic control systems are "unsustainable," urgently requiring modernization to ensure efficiency and safety.
The report highlighted that 37% of air traffic control systems are outdated, lacking spare parts, and require specialized maintenance, risking critical operations across the national airspace.
GAO emphasized that without a modernization plan, Congress will not be fully informed about how FAA intends to mitigate risks of its critical systems.
Rob Joyce of NSA noted that outdated IT systems create vulnerabilities, making them easier targets for cyber attacks, underscoring the need for modernization.
