Well, I believe Boeing and LocMart have already developed (and
deployed) modern ATC systems (probably superior to the existing FAA
stuff), so modernization could be much more rapid than if the FAA
developed and implemented something similar.


What does Boeing or LocMart have that is better or more modern than
STARS (which is being deployed now)?


Bob, I don't have a specific answer to your question, as I don't claim
to be familiar with STARS nor Boeing/LocMart ATC systems.


So why do you believe that Boeing and Locmart have already developed
more modern ATC systems than the FAA has?



Is STARS space-based?


No. STARS uses multiple radar feeds (the typical traditional long-range and
terminal radars that we all know and love). It can be upgraded with other
sensor feeds as they become available.
