Collins Aerospace deployed its Tower MicroELITE surveillance solution at San Bernardino International Airport in California, the first reported deployment of the system. The airport operates as a federal contract tower and faces rising airspace activity without certified radar displays. The system is designed to provide integrated surveillance data and improve controller situational awareness. The deployment reflects regulatory and infrastructure pressure on U.S. contract towers to modernize traffic-management capabilities.
