CSD is a technical services
company organized into four operating divisions reflecting
core competencies: Training, Engineering, Information
Systems, and Technical.
TRAINING
The Training Services Division has extensive experience in providing
training, developing and evaluating training materials,
and providing computer and network services supporting
web-based distance learning requirements. This division
is also very experienced in producing and maintaining
Computer-Based training and internet-accessible
training systems, in the use of interactive video
and graphics presentation systems, and in producing
audio-visual training aids. Examples of FAA-related
training projects include development and maintenance
of the national Computer Managed Instruction (CMI)
program and the FAA's on-line Catalog of Training,
operation of the national Computer Based Instruction
(CBI) Help Desk, provision of in-residence Airway
Facilities training at the FAA Academy, and evaluation
and development of FAA Academy courseware.
ENGINEERING
The Engineering Services
Division provides a variety of engineering and technical
services to the FAA Logistics Center to support radar,
communications, navigational aid, power, and automation
components of the National Airspace System (NAS).
These services include: systems engineering to perform
fault analyses and engineering studies, system and
component reengineering, and systems repair and refurbishment;
field engineering including on-site technical support
and systems installations; and engineering technical
services such as systems documentation and drafting,
technical library management, and support software
development.
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Our Information Systems
Division provides the Defense Information Systems
Agency with computer system technical support including
database development and administration, mainframe
computer operations, applications software development,
computer systems help desk, and computer systems security
administration.
TECHNICAL
This special
division supports a wide variety of technical requirements
for our customers. These services include the delivery
of numerous professional development courses for the
FAA's technical workforce. This division also performs
validation, analysis and review services on the design
of courses offered to aviation safety inspectors.
This work ensures that the content of technical courses
always coincide with inspectors' on-the-job procedures.
The FAA's Logistics Center also relies on the services
of the division: we perform extensive and ongoing
'technical refresh' of legacy information systems,
as well as significant work on newly fielded logistics
support systems.
