The Federal Aviation Administration conferred to the Volpe Center Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) Team an Outstanding Performance Recognition on October 16, 2003. WAAS provides the Global Positioning System with increased accuracy, availability, and integrity. The software developed by the Volpe team predicts the availability of WAAS and disseminates this information to pilots via the NOTAM system. This effort supported the July 10, 2003, commissioning of WAAS for all phases of flight. Volpe team members include Ms. Karen Van Dyke, Ms. Jayne Rossetti and Mr. Chris Dufresne of the Center for Navigation, and Mr. Jon Parmet of the Surveillance and Assessment Division.
