National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) Australia Chief Executive Alan Patterson presented the accreditation certificate to John Duddy, managing director and vice president of Boeing Defense Australia. NATA has accredited Boeing to test aircraft and other platforms that emit on frequencies between 4 MHz and 400 MHz, such as the C-130 Hercules military transport or the Boeing Next-Generation 737 passenger carrier at its E3 facility at Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base Amberly, Queensland and at mobile test sites. Testing is carried out using three software programs developed and written in-house by Boeing’s E3 team over a six year period.Find more details on the Boeing website.
