"We're very pleased to be selected to compete for the opportunity to partner with the FAA in this critical endeavor to make air travel more seamless," said John Kefaliotis, ITT'’s ADS-B team leader. "We look forward to working with our teammates to continue ITT’s 60-year legacy of innovation in air traffic control technology."
