Arnold AFB, TN (On-Site/Office)
Systems Administrator
Arnold AFB, TN
Base Communications and Information Technology Services Program (BCITS ll)
Program Summary
The Air Force Test Center's (AFTC) Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC) is a national aerospace ground test facility that conducts tests, engineering analyses, and technical evaluations for research, system development, and operational programs of the Air Force (AF) and Department of Defense (DoD), other Government agencies, and industry. Using ground test facilities and computational engineering, AEDC supports propulsion, aerodynamic, reentry, trans-atmospheric, and space-flight systems testing. This testing underpins the technical knowledge required for the development and qualification of key warfighter aerospace weapons. Testing is performed in an environment that simulates operational conditions. AEDC also performs research to develop new technology for advanced test facilities, test techniques, and measurement methodologies associated with ground tests.
The mission of AEDC is to prove the superiority of systems required to meet the demands of the national Defense Strategy. The mission is essential to developing and fielding weapons systems for the nation's warfighters. The Base Communications and Information Technology Services (BCITS II) contractor will be expected to perform in this mission, while smoothly integrated with the other Arnold Air Force Base (AFB) contractors and Government personnel, in a manner that makes AEDC the best value and most effective ground test and evaluation complex in the world.
