CSSI Wins Support Contract For Airspace Redesign
The
FAA plans to optimizing the airspace around up to 21 of the
nation’s busiest airports – including Washington, D.C.,
Dallas, Charlotte, Northern and Southern California, Houston, and
Atlanta – through the FAA’s Optimization of Airspace
and Procedures in the Metroplex (OAPM) program. Once completed,
OAPM will help address major issues faced in today’s busy
metro areas, including flow congestion, inefficient routing and
altitudes, airports in closing proximity and other factors like
environmental constraints.
To assist with the initial study and support for the first year
of the program, the agency has awarded a contract to Washington,
DC-based technical and engineering services company CSSI. The
contract, with a one-year base period and four option years, is
worth more than $6 million.
“This is exciting work because we’ll be able to
leverage our expertise in air traffic management, airspace safety,
and airspace capacity,” said Cynthia Castillo, CSSI president
and CEO. “We’re looking forward to getting started and
continuing to help the FAA make the skies more
efficient.”
As the selected contractor, CSSI will participate in airspace
study teams and support team members in their development of
notional airspace and procedure redesign efforts. CSSI employees
will also support the design and implementation teams in their
actual design of airspace and procedural efforts through design and
implementation phases, and will provide program management,
documentation, and report development support.
