Test Support

Our team provides testing support for National Airspace System (NAS) En Route and Oceanic systems. This contains overall technical tasks (test design, scenario development, test execution/conduct and analysis) that supports the implementation and testing of En Route and Oceanic NAS systems. The mission of EOSS Second Level Engineering (SLE) team is to provide support to the FAA for the testing services (including field support) in developing, testing, and implementing tests for all En Route and Oceanic systems. This task requires interfacing with system integration contractors, equipment manufacturers, airport personnel, various FAA and U.S. Government and Military organizations, and international organizations such as EuroControl and NAVCanada.
