I have only seen very few problem resolved by automation. I have seen a lot of problems resolved by assigning a leader to an organization who runs through it with a sharp knife to carve out the useless personnel and processes to make it more efficient. Then, an efficient operation might be helped by automation.
Good luck to the FAA, Lockheed, and the US tax payer lifting the bill.
