  1. 01

    How would the costs of upgrading tracking technology be distributed between military branches, commercial airlines, and private aircraft operators?

  2. 02

    What specific collision incidents or safety data prompted the need for these particular tracking technology upgrades rather than other aviation safety measures?

  3. 03

    Could delays in military compliance until 2031 create safety risks if civilian aircraft upgrade their tracking systems years earlier?
