Company Description - Long
The mission of the U.S. Navy is to maintain, train and equip combat-ready naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas.
The Air Combat Electronics Program Office, PMA-209, of Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), in cooperation with Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), supports the U.S. Navy's mission by championing development, integration and cradle-to-grave support for common avionics solutions in safety, connectivity, mission computing and interoperability. We do this by balancing multiple platform requirements into common or family of systems solutions that leverage prior platform investments, common architectures and interfaces, and coordinate opportunities across the enterprise when platforms require new capabilities.
PMA-209, in support of the Department of Defense (DoD) Better Buying Power (BBP) initiatives, leads naval aviation in the pursuit of Open Architecture (OA) solutions; to include development and implementation of the Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) standard and Hardware Open Systems Technologies (HOST) standard.
