Background: Icing testing is required for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Military in-flight icing certification for aircraft that operate in icing conditions. ATTC currently operates t he Helicopter Icing Spray System (HISS) which provides a limited low speed icing spray capability. OHISS is a program to provide an improved in-flight icing test capability with lower lifecycle costs. The requirements for this system are detailed in the at tached Draft Performance Specification. Viewing Opportunity for Current System: The current HISS has been integrated into the CH-47 host aircraft in preparation for icing testing planned to occur from January 2008 to April 2008.
