PRIMARY STANDARDS LABORATORY PACKAGE
Description (continued):
new and enhanced calibration standards equipment remain an Air Force responsibility. Management of the Air Force Metrology and Calibration
(AFMETCAL) Program remains an Air Force organic program. Air Force responsibilities include the identification and development of Air
Force metrology and calibration requirements, calibration procedures development and management, and budgeting and acquisition of
calibration standards equipment. The operating contractor is provided Air Force government furnished equipment (GFE). As the Air Force
places more reliance on high technology weapons systems for our national security, the need for accurate and precise measurements becomes
increasingly important. The accuracy, precision, and safety of Air Force systems are all traced back to the measurement standards of theAFPSL.
