Boeing has selected National Technical Systems to provide automated test equipment (ATE) systems for its 777 programme.

The ATE systems will perform tests on 777 systems, avionics and engines, and evaluate the test results.

The fixed-price contract will continue until January 2011.

NTS CEO William McGinnis said that as engineering service offerings expanded, opportunities in this market would increase and the company would be able to provide a broader range of product engineering and testing services.
