- 01
How would the costs of upgrading tracking technology be distributed between military branches, commercial airlines, and private aircraft operators?
- 02
What specific collision incidents or safety data prompted the need for these particular tracking technology upgrades rather than other aviation safety measures?
- 03
Could delays in military compliance until 2031 create safety risks if civilian aircraft upgrade their tracking systems years earlier?
