Cool

WE are working on ERAM right now and should have it rolled out at the first facility by 2009. That will replace all the hardware and software for the data processing. It will also change some of our radar interface and display... You will be able to customize your radar much more and write macros for our sector so that for things that normally take multiple entries for what you do constantly, such as change altitude for aircraft, put electronic point out on another sector then hand off to another sector, you can make the macro and do it with one two clicks <G>. We like that one <G>... Lots of intersting stuff coming in the near future if the contractor doesn't bug it all up. We are hoping... The design team did some neat stuff on it before the FAA kicked all the controllers out of the process...

regards

Scott
