Testing and support is carried out for the Air Force , Navy , Army , the National Aeronautics and Space Administration , foreign governments, and private industry. To conduct this support, a 9,500 person workforce exists made up of scientists, engineers, and technicians. CCAS is a flat and slightly above sea level year round facility. U.S. commercial customers will be charged direct costs and may be charged overhead costs, as determined by the commander or his designee.
Overhead costs are to be funded by the responsible defense agency.
