Stephanie Murphy (FL-7) met with her MS&T Advisory Board at the NCS Offices. The Advisory Board consists of MS&T industry CEO’s of Central Florida based companies (or companies with a large presence in Central Florida) and NCS’ CEO and President Tom Baptiste. Central Florida is the epicenter of the modeling and simulation industry and Rep. Murphy’s District contains the Central Florida Research Park, home of NSA Orlando and the Naval Air Warfare Training Systems Division (NAWTSD), the Army’s Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), the Marine’s Program Manager for Training Systems (PM TRASYS), the Air Force Agency for Modeling and Simulation (AFAMS), and eight other federal agencies.
The Congresswoman is a strong advocate for the MS&T industry. As a member of the House Arms Service Committee, she provides a unique perspective of the benefits and importance of MS&T to our military. On October 19, Rep. Murphy accompanied House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (MD-5) on a visit to the Research Park where they visited AVT Simulations and Astronics Test Systems.
