Trump says IBM, Raytheon may get US contract to modernize air traffic control system​

WASHINGTON, April 30 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Raytheon Technologies (RTX.N), opens new tab and IBM (IBM.N), opens new tab may get the contract to modernize the U.S. air traffic control system.
"We have very obsolete equipment for air traffic control," Trump during a cabinet meeting at the White House, adding there are five companies who could do the work. "We want to put a brand new air traffic control system in."
Calls to modernize the nation's air traffic control system intensified after a mid-air collision on January 29 between a U.S. Army helicopter and an American Airlines (AAL.O), opens new tab jet near Washington Reagan National Airport. All 67 people aboard the aircraft died.
The U.S. House of Representatives Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is considering on Wednesday a proposal to spend $12.5 billion through 2029 to replace aging facilities, including air traffic control towers, radar systems and telecommunications infrastructure, as well as $1 billion for air traffic control hiring.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said last month he plans to ask Congress for tens of billions of dollars for a multi-year effort to revamp Federal Aviation Administration air traffic control infrastructure and boost hiring.
Duffy previously criticized Verizon for "not moving fast enough" in its $2.4 billion, 15-year telecom contract with the FAA.
In March, Elon Musk's Starlink unit denied it wanted to take over Verizon's FAA contract. Verizon said it is working with the FAA on solutions to create an advanced, safer national air traffic control.
"Starlink is a possible partial fix to an aging system," Musk's SpaceX said.
The Government Accountability Office says the FAA must take urgent action to address aging air traffic control systems, saying that one-third of them are unsustainable.
One-quarter of all FAA facilities are 50 years old or older and aging systems have repeatedly sparked delays, including major issues at Newark Liberty International Airport on Monday.
A persistent shortage of controllers has delayed flights and many controllers are working mandatory overtime and six-day weeks. The FAA is about 3,500 air traffic controllers short of targeted staffing levels.

“Speech enhancement (SE) is a fundamental problem in speech signal processing, aimed at separating noise from speech to produce a cleaner and more intelligible audio signal. SE plays a critical role in various applications, including hearing aids, speech recognition, and telecommunications.”

Hi @Rach2512,

Java is not a company, in case you mean that. It’s a popular programming language and computing platform first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. (Sun was acquired by Oracle in 2010).

Muhammad Halel used to work for Sun Microsystems in the 1990s: View attachment 83482
That’s when he “developed & implemented [a] strategy, which opened the smart card market to JAVA technology.”

Thanks for your reply @Frangipani, sorry it mustn't be Java then, I know it begins with a J is it JAST or something like that, sorry I'm not at all technical, that's why I'm getting confused.

Is Yasuhiro hinting at something here in the highlighted area?

His reference to "a cerebral cortex-like AI" does suggest a conceptual alignment with neuromorphic computing, though he doesn’t name it directly.

Is it just me or has the logo changed colour ….

Yes, the logo has now changed to dark blue, from its original black, they also used a black square with white-out spike for a while. The colour seems to be a cmyk blue as opposed to the bright and distinctive rgb blue used by most corporations within the digital landscape. Good move, it's clean and clearly adaptable across media platforms as well as being able to morph depending upon its uses cases. Very much like Akida.

Nothing like a bit of commercial-in-confidence info to tap the old Nasdaq along.

I wonder how much they paid a consulting firm to pick the new colours .....

The colour comes from the old logo... the new blue is much friendlier, yet the website version does not use the spike anymore.
