Default FAA Awards $1.8 BILLION ADS-B Ground Station Contract

wrote:

ADS-B provides a lot of benefits for pilots. Situational awareness
with regard to other traffic and weather without having to install
TCAS, TPAS, or XM Weather. If they do it right the ADS-B box will
cost less than $10K and will interface with most moving map displays
(expect software updates from all the vendors to support it).


Oh is that JUST $10,000. Maybe I should buy two or three.
