NASA Signs Defense Department Agreement
UPI Correspondent Washington (UPI) Feb 27, 2007 NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense have agreed to develop an integrated strategy for managing their respective aeronautical test facilities. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Director Michael Griffin and Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Kenneth Krieg signed the National Partnership for Aeronautical Testing agreement. NASA said the agreement expands the dialogue beyond the test and evaluation communities to include industry, academia and the science and technology interests from both agencies. Aeronautical test facilities are used for testing vehicles, such as aircraft, missiles or space vehicles, or for related scientific and engineering studies. They include wind tunnels, propulsion test facilities, simulation facilities and open-air ranges. NASA said the agreement also establishes a council responsible for developing projects that streamline and economize the management of aeronautical test facilities.
