Sean Duffy, the aviation security officer, has been trying to convince government authorities to abandon old technologies and promote more effective modernization since over six years ago. But until 2026, things haven't changed much. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is launching a major organizational change aimed at replacing old technologies with new solutions.

This decision was promoted by the new aviation security officer, Sean Duffy, who stated: 'We must face our responsibilities, but also our safety.' Another important element is aviation security. Important information for managing air traffic is necessary to ensure safety. Old technologies like floppy disks cannot meet current requirements.

The new system E-IDS (Enterprise Information Display System), which will be installed in hundreds of airport control structures, will allow pilots to receive information more quickly and efficiently. This system will provide essential information for flight control, such as meteorological alerts, restricted airspace modifications, and pilot reports. Modernizing the organization requires time, but Duffy promised that this process will have a predetermined end date.

The officer said: 'There won't be anymore floppy disks or paper strips. E-IDS provides essential information to flight controllers, who tell them to 'get going' because they can make quick decisions and maintain public flight safety.' The project is called Enterprise Information Display System (E-IDS) and should be completed by 2028. The officer added: 'We are continuing our story of modernizing the organization, replacing technologies that painted America's skies in 1980 with a new technology that can be used by flight controllers to communicate immediately essential information.' The change happens through a gradual adaptation process where each site will be equipped with the new E-IDS system.
