CSSI Wins 5-Year, $8.5 Million Separation Standards Contract

CSSI, Inc., a leading provider of transportation and mobility solutions to government and commercial clients, was recently awarded an $8.5-million, five-year contract by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide separation standards analysis support at the William J. Hughes (News - Alert) Technical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

CSSI will provide domestic and global RVSM assistance, performance-based navigation (PBN) support, international separation standards monitoring and ATC-system analysis as it relates to NextGen (News - Alert).
