Acquisitions Support Program

Updated:02:58 PM March 20, 2009

The Acquisitions Support Program seeks to integrate human factors policies, processes, and best practices into the acquisition of FAA systems.  We support programs in the terminal, tower, en route, traffic management, flight service, and Technical Operations domains.  The program employs user-centered, research-driven design and evaluation practices in all phases of the development and acquisition process.
