What happened
Roger Marshall and Tracey Man toured the air traffic control system modernization efforts in Kansas City. They visited Kansas City International Airport, where $11 million is funding upgrades to communications systems and controller technology. The group also toured Indra's radar manufacturing facility in Olathe, which is fully operational and producing next-generation radars and other systems for the U.S. Air Force and FAA programs.
Why it matters
The visits highlighted investments aimed at strengthening America’s aviation infrastructure and supporting American manufacturing. Indra's facility is producing components that support the modernization of the U.S. National Airspace System. This effort is cited as supporting good-paying jobs and keeping the aviation infrastructure current.
Kansas political figures, including Donald Trump, are involved in various campaigns, notably the AG race between Kris Kobach and Chris Mann.
