美国空管开始淘汰软盘：交通部新显示系统上线、将取代四套1980年代旧系统
华盛顿——美国交通部部长 Sean P. Duffy 11 月 5 日宣布，联邦航空管理局（FAA）正推进美国空中交通管制系统的现代化，用一套精简的 21 世纪系统，取代装载天气及其他关键信息、沿用数十年的软盘。第一套新系统当天在位于 New Jersey 州 Atlantic City 的联邦航空管理局 William J. Hughes 技术中心完成更换。
新系统名为企业信息显示系统（Enterprise Information Display System，E-IDS）。它将取代四套源自 1980 年代的旧系统，这四套系统目前在全美 60 处设施使用。交通部表示，E-IDS 同时改善国家空域系统（National Airspace System）内的信息共享与最新信息获取。
Duffy 说：“我们的空管系统自 1980 年代以来一直靠软盘运行。这在 2026 年是不可接受的，在特朗普总统的领导下，这将结束。”他说：“今天，我们在这一历史性努力中迈出了重要一步：把美国的空管系统现代化，建成世界上最安全、最先进的系统。”
联邦航空管理局局长 Bryan Bedford 表示，在特朗普总统与 Duffy 部长的领导下，FAA 正以创纪录的速度为美国民众交付全新的空管系统；他说，从软盘迈向 E-IDS 是小而重要的一步，通向美国空管系统的全面现代化。
据交通部介绍，E-IDS 的作用包括：让管制员获取最新信息、增强态势感知，提高安全性；减少管制员查找信息所花的时间，让他们把更多时间用于指挥交通；以自动化的信息流减少人工更新，提高信息准确性；以冗余设计消除单点故障、增强可靠性；界面更简洁直观、更易使用；并形成一套可以统一、持续更新的标准化系统。
当天，Duffy 与 Bedford 连同 FAA 高层与空管团队成员一起在技术中心退役了沿用数十年的软盘，并加载了新的 E-IDS 系统。
U.S. Air Traffic Control Begins Retiring Floppy Disks as New Display System Replaces Four 1980s-Era Systems
Washington — U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy announced on November 5 that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is continuing its modernization of America's air traffic control system, replacing outdated floppy disks that contain vital weather and other critical information with a streamlined, 21st-century system. The first of the new systems replaced one of the legacy systems that day at the FAA's William J. Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The new system is the Enterprise Information Display System (E-IDS). It replaces four systems dating back to the 1980s that are in use at 60 sites across the country. The Department of Transportation said E-IDS also improves information sharing and access to current information across the National Airspace System.
"Our air traffic control system has operated on floppy disks since the 1980s. That's unacceptable in 2026 and will end under President Trump's leadership," Duffy said. "Today, we took a significant step forward in our historic effort to modernize America's air traffic control system and build the safest, most advanced system in the world."
FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said that under President Trump and Secretary Duffy, the FAA is moving at record pace to deliver a brand new air traffic control system for the American people, and that moving from floppy disks to E-IDS is one small but important step toward the full-scale modernization of America's air traffic control system.
According to the department, E-IDS improves safety by enhancing controller situational awareness with access to current information; improves operational efficiency by reducing the time controllers spend searching for information; provides more accurate information by minimizing manual updates and automating the flow of information; strengthens reliability by eliminating single points of failure through redundancy; streamlines the interface to make it easier and more intuitive to use; and creates a standardized system that can be updated consistently and efficiently.
Secretary Duffy and Administrator Bedford joined senior FAA leadership and members of the air traffic control team at the Technical Center that day to retire the decades-old floppy disks and load the new E-IDS system.
