Newark Airport Gets Smarter Radar | Newark News

Newark Liberty just got a game-changing radar upgrade—think X-ray vision for air traffic controllers—that’s part of a $12.5 billion nationwide push to modernize FAA systems from analog to digital, after last year’s terrifying blackouts caused chaos and delays. This tech lets controllers see planes and ground vehicles in real time, especially during bad weather or darkness, helping prevent disasters like the recent LaGuardia collision that killed lives. Upgrades are rolling out across all 50 states—with full rollout targeted by 2028—to make flying safer for everyone above and below the tarmac.
