The article, shortened and in plain language
The Federal Aviation Administration has been struggling to manage an air traffic control shortage throughout the country.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the FAA will soon launch Smart Routes and Trajectories — an automated software program designed to help streamline air traffic operations.
A one-page readout on the program describes Smart as “a cloud-based platform system that enhances existing FAA air traffic management systems.”
Earlier this year, the FAA also announced a “bold, new” hiring plan that the agency said would “erase the longstanding staffing shortage,” and the government is separately engaged in a broad effort to modernize the nation’s aging air traffic systems.

This is TechCrunch's report shortened to its most important sentences, in plainer words, with
verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives
that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations
are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure
this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
