Which command uses the conventional numbering system?

• A. NAVAIRSYSCOM (Naval Air Systems Command)
• B. NAVFAC (Naval Facilities Engineering Command)
• C. ONR (Office of Naval Research)
• D. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)

Answer: (A)

The conventional numbering system here refers to the standard Navy/DoD approach used to identify aviation programs with a fixed numeric scheme tied to aircraft and related systems. The Naval Air Systems Command oversees aviation programs and applies this conventional numeric designation across its aircraft and subsystems. NAVFAC is focused on facilities and civil engineering and uses its own project codes, not the conventional aviation numbering. The Office of Naval Research centers on research programs with different project identifiers, and NASA uses spaceflight mission and program designations distinct from the Navy’s aviation numbering. So, the command that uses the conventional numbering system is the Naval Air Systems Command.
