What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

RTX Collins Aerospace is deploying the Tower MicroELITE (TME) display, a new surveillance system designed to improve air traffic controller situational awareness at ATC facilities. The TME display integrates Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) and radar surveillance data in a compact, enterprise-grade system. San Bernardino International Airport, which has a federal contract tower, is the first airport to install the system after it received FAA design approval as an Airborne Position Reference Tool (APRT).
