FAA to finally ditch floppy disks in what it calls "historic" tech upgrade
摘要
美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）宣布将停止在空管系统中使用软盘，作为其现代化升级的一部分。新系统“企业信息显示系统”（E-IDS）将部署至435个设施，取代可追溯至1980年代的多套信息显示系统，使空管人员能更快获取关键安全警报所需数据。FAA称此举是其对美国空管系统进行历史性现代化改造的延续，E-IDS将在全美400多个设施的控制席位投入使用，为航空器管制提供
While you might be pondering whether to replace a smartphone with one that has a slightly better camera or a second screen, the Federal Aviation Administration is planning a much bigger leap in technology for the country's air traffic control system.
The FAA said yesterday that it will stop using floppy disks as part of a long-awaited upgrade that will give air traffic controllers faster access to data needed for crucial safety alerts. The new Enterprise Information Display System (E-IDS) will be installed in 435 facilities, replacing several information display systems dating to the 1980s.
The FAA "is continuing its historic modernization of America’s air traffic control system by replacing outdated floppy disks that contain vital weather and other critical information with a streamlined, 21st-century system," the agency said. E-IDS will be "deployed to operational control positions at more than 400 facilities across all air traffic control domains," and "provide operationally essential information for controlling aircraft," the FAA said.
