Aviation | GDIT

Advancing all phases of flight.

We build and maintain the systems that keep our domestic airspace safe. For over 50 years, GDIT has provided solutions to some of the FAA’s biggest challenges. From modernizing IT to mission-critical networks, our aviation expertise ensures more than a billion annual U.S. passengers are protected at every step of their journeys.

Networks

We bring our mission expertise to deploy, operate and sustain mission-critical networks for agencies, including network transformation, SDN and SD-WAN, TDM-to-IP transition, and cyber threat detection.

Our capabilities provide telecommunications VoIP systems at over 1,000 FAA facilities for seamless, secure communications—anytime, anywhere.

Cyber

GDIT secures the FAA mission network with advanced threat detection and monitoring, vulnerability assessment and incident response coordination. We develop and manage the critical security operations for the FAA Enterprise Information Management and FAADroneZone platforms.

Intelligent Automation

We built the software for the National Airspace System that the FAA relies on every day to keep domestic airspace safe. Calculating and recommending standard maneuvers like arrivals, departures, and rerouting, Traffic Flow Management uses intelligent automation to assist in all phases of flight.

Cloud

GDIT is the FAA’s secure gateway to the cloud with enterprise-scale infrastructure that’s both cost-effective and secure. With two dedicated data centers complete with connectivity to the FAA Wide Area Network, we work with strategic providers AWS and Microsoft Azure to maintain over 200 critical FAA accounts.

Software Development

Our DevSecOps platform rapidly deploys an enterprise solution that improves speed, reliability and security of application development and migration and enables deployment in containers. We develop and support key applications including flight operations and safety, FAADroneZone and Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC), and FAA EIM.

Radios

Air Traffic Control (ATC) radios made by General Dynamics Mission Systems provide clear, reliable, ground-to-air communications for ATC centers, commercial airports and military air stations and range installations.

More than 15,000 radios have been delivered and were the first deployed in the National Airspace System to support VoIP global standards.
