Q Air traffic management (ATM) is a system (e.g., NextGen and SESAR) and, as such, inherits a life cycle related to benefits, costs, effectiveness, and other considerations. Present your view as to whether present ATM systems are either in catch-up mode or are securely embarked into futuristic modes for safer and more efficient commercial airline operations. Further, indicate the implications associated with your view about how life cycle components likely will be affected. Explain your rationale and provide at least one scholarly source to support your position. Post your observation (using APA format where applicable) and comment on at least one other student posting before the end of the module week in accordance with the requirements as explained in the syllabus.

I think that ATM systems are securely embarked into futuristic modes for safer and more efficient commercial airline operations. This is because of the introduction of the new technology of ATM called Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) (Ma et al. 2019). In the ADS-B system, technology utilized for application in future is foundational in nature. There can be accommodation of higher volumes in case of observing the number of airplanes moving in the air as well as on the ground. The distance covered for surveillance is also higher than the distance covered in other existing systems.
