That's the system we use to transmit data.
So we have to move from analog to digital, copper to fiber.
A lot of companies already did this a decade ago.
We're just doing this right now.
Our radar date back to the, I think our newest model is from 1983.
So we're gonna build and buy new radar, new radios for air traffic controllers.
But I need like 31 and a half billion dollars.
The Congress gave me only 12 and a half billion.
I think we're gonna get the rest.
But the real sweet spot is you need new software
to navigate what is already a busy airspace.
It's gonna only get busier.
And then if you see these eVTOLs, the Ubers in the air that are the pods that'll take people from one location to the other, that's gonna make the airspace more complicated.
We have drones now that are coming to deliver your Uber Eats or your coffee or a three to five pound package.
from the drugstore or Walmart.
So that complication means we need new software.
That's going to take us some time to develop and deploy.
I need resources for that.
But that is the number one issue.
I mean, making sure people are safe and there's more efficiency in the airspace so there's less delay.
