• Take responsibility for the overall performance of the system and the allocation of the project performance requirements and ensure that these requirements are met.
• Control the collection of technical data (Data Book) and keep it up to date.
• Participate in the Gate Reviews (give status on system activities).
• Support application projects in ATC ONB current and future projects.
