The gathering of radar, beacon and other sensor data are now largely automated and continuous, but the actions necessary to control the airspace are conversational and require some 14,000 FAA air traffic controllers talking directly to pilots in the air and on the ground at terminals. Voice communication between aircraft and the ARTCCs is supported by a network of ground-air radio sites often co-located with the radar sites. As aircraft enter or exit from one control area to the next, responsibility for the aircraft is transferred to the gaining ARTCC. These centers provide en route and oceanic services to private, commercial, and military aircraft overflying their respective control areas. The system operates with radar data provided by FAA radar sites, DoD radar sites, and other federal agency radar sites. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) system of 24 FAA Area Control Centers, 20 in the lower 48 United States, one in Alaska, one in Hawaii, one in Puerto Rica and one in Guam. ERAM can process data from 64 radars versus the 24 radar processing with the legacy HOST system. As of, all 20 of the lower 48 United States ARTCCs had converted to the ERAM system as had the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.ĮRAM technology is the heart of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) and the pulse of the National Airspace System (NAS), helping to advance the transition from a ground-based system of air traffic control to a satellite-based system of traffic management. On, the FAA decommissioned the 4-decades-old En Route Host computer system at the Seattle and Salt Lake City ARTCCs and replaced the system with the new En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) system. In 1988 the IBM 3083 computer system known as "Host" replaced the old IBM 9020s in these ARTCCs. Initially, the 20 ARTCCs in the lower 48 States were equipped with IBM 9020 computers to automate some of the ARTCC functions. The Jacksonville Center covers a part of the FAA's Eastern service area.
In February 1961, the Jacksonville ARTCC moved to Hilliard, Florida, and is currently located at 37075 Aviation Lane in Hilliard.
Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center opened in December 1941, at Imeson Airport in Jacksonville, Florida.
