What travelers don’t see is the behind the scenes work that goes into making their journey safe, reliable and ontime. Over 192 ASRC Federal employees working at the FAA’s William J Hughes Technical Center (WJHTC) in Egg Harbor, New Jersey travel around the country to different airports, improving the National Airspace System (NAS) and ensuring the safe departures, flights and arrivals for travelers. Through the Terminal and Technical Operations (TnT) contract, ASRC Federal employees support the Federal Aviation Administration’s NAS mission, which serves as a tool for air traffic controllers and aids in the FAA’s mission to provide safe and efficient use of national

The NAS consists of surveillance targets, weather detection, flight plan data, communication, air traffic control and display systems, and supporting processing systems within the EnRoute, Oceanic, flight service and terminal air traffic control environments. The TnT contract provides second-level engineering and sustainment support for existing NAS equipment, systems and services used for air traffic control, and the implementation and deployment of new equipment and systems to move towards a satellite-based air traffic management system. As part of the modernization efforts approximately 300 employees nationwide, including those located at WJHTC, provide transition support activities for Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS), which are replacing the
