Reagan Airport undergoes major changes after deadly 2025 collision
A new Surface Movement Radar (SMR-4) has been installed at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport following a deadly midair collision in 2025 that resulted in 67 deaths. The radar enhances air traffic control visibility, especially in poor weather conditions, with the goal of preventing future accidents. Reagan Airport is the fifth airport to receive this system, part of a $30.5 million safety upgrade over three years, after the collision involved a regional jet and a military helicopter, highlighting systemic safety failures by FAA and the Army.
