Aviation: New Plan for Advanced Anti-Collision Technology

Law

This bill requires the FAA to create a master plan for using a new, advanced system that helps planes avoid hitting each other. This technology is meant to replace older systems with something more precise and reliable for modern air travel.
The FAA must figure out how much money and research are needed to get this safety tech into all kinds of aircraft, from large airliners to helicopters and drones. This ensures that as more things fly in our skies, they have the best tools to stay apart.
The government will work with pilots, plane makers, and safety experts to make sure the new system is practical. They will also coordinate with other countries so that planes flying internationally follow the same high safety standards.
The FAA has 180 days to finish the plan and must share it with the public within 10 days of completion. This keeps the process transparent so travelers and the aviation industry know exactly how and when these safety upgrades will happen.
