In-Service Decision Process

In-Service Decision is the event at which the FAA decision authority determines whether DNTS is ready for operational use and if approved, will allow the Airport Cable Loop Program Office (ACLPO) to deploy the solution at FAA-supported airports.

The ACLPO must complete multiple In-Service Decision checklist tasks to verify operational readiness, many of which require Contractor technical expertise. Under the DNTS contract, the Contractor assists the FAA to demonstrate the technology works in accordance with the DNTS Product Description and to provide life cycle support artifacts and capabilities.

This attachment illustrates the process, activities, events, and milestones required by FAA In-Service

Decision authorities, which align to DNTS contract requirements. More information about FAA’s In-

Service Decision and Operationational Readiness requirements can be found in AMS Policy 2.6 at the https://fast.faa.gov/ website.
