Program Description

En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM)

Replaces the legacy HOST automation system at 20 en route centers, serving as the platform upon which data sharing, digital communications and trajectory-based operations reside.

Key Capabilities

• Provides real-time aeronautical information
• Increases flexibility in routing aircraft around congestion, weather and other airspace restrictions
• Enables seamless information sharing and coordination between controllers and en route centers

Benefits

• Increase capacity and improve efficiency in our skies
• Improve automated navigation and conflict detection services
• Reduce controllers' workloads and stress; increase collaboration, and seamless data sharing between centers
• Increases flexible routing, and radar coverage which leads to smoother, faster, and more cost efficient flights for pilots
