Mission  

The mission of this center is to improve the maintenance and inspection of aircraft through research that combines human factors and technical expertise. We have more than fifteen years of research and development leadership in aviation inspection and maintenance involving human factors. Our successful innovation, in cooperation with major airline research partners, has assisted the FAA through the Office of Aviation Medicine and Sandia National Laboratories. Close links are maintained to quality assurance and maintenance in other manufacturing and transportation industries, and cooperation is close with other innovative resources, such as the Center of Multisource Information Fusion.
