National Airspace System
Keeping the nation’s airspace safe, secure, and modern.
The US National Airspace System (NAS) is the most complex operational environment in the world, connecting thousands of airports, facilities, and aircraft every day. EIT has supported the FAA and its partners in the NAS for more than three decades, working from our flagship office next to the William J. Hughes Technical Center.
Our engineers and analysts support the full lifecycle of NAS systems, from requirements and design through test, deployment, and sustainment, with a constant focus on aircraft and airport safety and security.
