PASADENA, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) announced today that it has been awarded
a $40 million, single-award contract to develop a new information system
for tracking and analyzing medical information associated with pilots,
air traffic controllers, and other aviation related personnel. Under the
five-year Aerospace Medicine Safety Information System (AMSIS) contract,
Tetra Tech will support the FAA in the system engineering and design,
system architecture development, testing, data analytics, training, and
deployment of the system.
The FAA
Office of Aerospace Medicine (AAM) advances the field of study of
aerospace medicine and medical certification programs of pilots, air
traffic controllers, and other safety critical personnel. AMSIS will be
