What happened
The FAA is rolling out the Enterprise Information Display System (E-IDS) to replace four legacy systems, some of which still run on 3.5-inch magnetic floppy disks, across more than 400 air traffic control facilities. E-IDS aggregates real-time weather alerts, equipment outages, restricted airspace changes and pilot reports onto a modern digital display. The article is truncated and gives no CVEs, timelines or security details, so defenders should treat this as an operational modernisation story.
