Airline flights are being closely tracked and directed without radar for the first time in the nation's history as part of a new system monitoring the skies above the Colorado Rockies.

It uses similar technology to the satellite-based system that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is installing nationwide to replace radar over the next decade, said Vincent Capezzuto, who oversees the agency's modernization technology.
