Mission Statement
To provide a set of world class laboratories for research, engineering development, test, evaluation, and maintenance of air navigation, air traffic management, and future transportation system capabilities.
Description of Work
The national airspace system (NAS) Laboratories, located at the William J. Hughes Technical Center, are the focal point of the FAA's efforts to revamp NAS to meet the needs of users now and through the coming millennium. The activities in the NAS Laboratories support the research, development, testing, and acquisition of products that are intended to ensure a seamless transition of safety and efficiency throughout the NAS modernization effort.
The Center's Laboratory Services Division, which manages the activities of the NAS Laboratories, supports the laboratories in a number of ways, including configuration management, test bed maintenance and enhancement, laboratory scheduling, computer operations, documentation library services, and systems engineering. The Division also provides a variety of other technical and engineering services for laboratory customers in support of research and development system installations and proof-of-concept testing.
The Laboratory Services Division is certified to the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System.
