Systems Acquisitions and Life Cycle Support

Conwal has provided expertise in FAA systems acquisitions and the support of these systems throughout their life cycle. This support includes implementation, logistics, training, data management, program support, quality, and administration. Conwal has a unique understanding of the National Airspace System (NAS); how systems are acquired and integrated into the NAS; how new systems must be tested prior to integration; and the requirements for logistics support (spares, technical documentation, training, support equipment, etc.) during acquisition, implementation, testing, and life cycle support.

Conwal was selected to develop the narrative for the Life Cycle Engineering section in the latest version of the Systems Engineering Manual. This manual will be used by the FAA in all future systems acquisitions.

Conwal has been a leader in the field of NAILS (National Airspace Integrated Logistics Support) for many years. Conwal uses this expertise to assist in the development of Statements of Work, review contractor’s proposals, evaluate contractor deliverables, analyze life cycle support of systems, estimate logistics costs, provide recommendations during the provisioning process, and provide assistance to the program and logistics managers. Conwal has developed inputs for such documents as: Integrated Logistics Support Plans (ILSP), Program Management Plans (PMP), In Service Reviews (ISR), Configuration Management Audits, and other program management documents.
