Air Traffic Control: Why just tiny errors can ground planes
About this episode
In light of the recent issues with Air Traffic Control computers in the UK and US, grounding thousands of flights due to poor quality data and broken tables, this week we’re taking a look at how ATC systems are being updated to keep the skies fit for the 21st Century, how that means small errors can have catastrophic consequences, and what we can all learn from it.
This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organisations and what we can learn from it.
